The Bargmann Transform and Windowed Fourier Localization

We consider the relationship between Gabor-Daubechies windowed Fourier localization operators and Berezin-Toeplitz operators T _φ, using the Bargmann isometry β. For “window” w a finite linear combination of Hermite functions, and a very general class of functions φ, we prove an equivalence of the form by obtaining the exact formulas for the operator C and the linear differential operator D.

Short-time Asymptotics of the Heat Kernel on Bounded Domain with Piecewise Smooth Boundary Conditions and Its Applications to an Ideal Gas

The asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel Θ(t)=sum from ∞to j=1 exp(-tλ_j) where {λ_j}_(j=1)~∞are the eigen-values of the negative Laplacian -Δ_n=-sum from n to k=1((?))~2 in R~n(n=2 or 3) is studied for short-time t for a generalbounded domain Ωwith a smooth boundary (?)Ω.In this paper,we consider the case of a finite number of theDirichlet conditions φ=0 on Γ_i (i=1,...,J) and the Neumann conditions (?)=0 on Γ_i (i=J 1,...,k) andthe Robin conditions ((?) γ_i)φ=0 on Γ_i (i=k 1,...,m) where γ_i are piecewise smooth positive impedancefunctions,such that (?)Ωconsists of a finite number of piecewise smooth components Γ_i(i=1,...,m) where(?)Ω=(?)Γ_i.We construct the required asymptotics in the form of a power series over t.The senior coefficients inthis series are specified as functionals of the geometric shape of the domain Ω.This result is applied to calculatethe one-particle partition function of a“special ideal gas”,i.e.,the set of non-interacting particles set up in abox with Dirichlet,Neumann and Robin boundary conditions for the appropriate wave function.Calculationof the thermodynamic quantities for the ideal gas such as the internal energy,pressure and specific heat revealsthat these quantities alone are incapable of distinguishing between two different shapes of the domain.Thisconclusion seems to be intuitively clear because it is based on a limited information given by a one-particlepartition function;nevertheless,its formal theoretical motivation is of some interest.     

Localization Operators and Exponential Weights for Modulation Spaces

We study localization operators within the framework of ultradistributions. More precisely, given a symbol a and two windows φ₁, φ₂, we investigate the multilinear mapping from to the localization operator Results are formulated in terms of modulation spaces with weights which may have exponential growth. We give sufficient and necessary conditions for a to be bounded or to belong to a Schatten class. As an application, we study symbols defined by ultra-distributions with compact support, that give trace class localization operators.     

Nonexistence of invariant graphs in all supercritical energy levels of mechanical Lagrangians in T 2

Let (T², g) be a smooth Riemannian structure in the torus T². We show that given ε > 0 and any C^∞ function U : T² → ℝ there exists a C¹ function U_ε with Lipschitz derivatives that is ε-C⁰ close to U for which there are no continuous invariant graphs in any supercritical energy level of the mechanical Lagrangian L_ε : TT² → ℝ given by . We also show that given n ∈ ℕ, the set of C^∞ potentials U : T² → ℝ for which there are no continuous invariant graphs in any supercritical energy level E ≤ n of is C⁰ dense in the set of C^∞ functions.

Hilbert-Schmidt Hankel Operators on the Bergman Space of Planar Domains

In this paper we study the problem of the membership of H _ϕ in the Hilbert-Schmidt class, when and Ω is a planar domain. We find a necessary and sufficient condition.We apply this result to the problem of joint membership of H _φ and in the Hilbert-Schmidt class. Using the notion of Berezin Transform and a result of K. Zhu we are able to give a necessary and sufficient condition. Finally, we recover a result of Arazy, Fisher and Peetre on the case with φ holomorphic.     

Equidistribution of Rational Matrices in their Conjugacy Classes

Let G be a connected simply connected almost -simple algebraic group with non-compact and a cocompact congruence subgroup. For any homogeneous manifold of finite volume, and a , we show that the Hecke orbit T _a (x ₀ H) is equidistributed on as , provided H is a non-compact commutative reductive subgroup of G. As a corollary, we generalize the equidistribution result of Hecke points ([COU], [EO1]) to homogeneous spaces G/H. As a concrete application, we describe the equidistribution result in the rational matrices with a given characteristic polynomial. The second author partially supported by DMS 0333397.

Let F = Q（√-p1p2） be an imaginary quadratic field with distinct primes p1 = p2 = 1 mod 8 and the Legendre symbol （p1/p2） = 1. Then the 8-rank of the class group of F is equal to 2 if and only Pl if the following conditions hold： （1） The quartic residue symbols （p1/p2）4 = （p2/p1）4 = 1; （2） Either both p1 and p2 are represented by the form a^2 ＋ 32b^2 over Z and p^h2＋（2p1）/4=x^2-2p1y^2,x,y∈Z,or both p1 and p2 are not represented by the form a^2 ＋ 32b^2 over Z and p^h2＋（2p1）/4=ε（2x^2-p1y^2）,x,y∈Z,ε∈{±1},where h＋（2p1） is the narrow class number of Q（√2p1）,Moreover, we also generalize these results.     

Uniformly summing sets of operators on spaces of vector–valued continuous functions

Let X, Y be Banach spaces. We say that a set is uniformly p–summing if the series is uniformly convergent for whenever (x_n) belongs to . We consider uniformly summing sets of operators defined on a -space and prove, in case X does not contain a copy of c₀, that is uniformly summing iff is, where T (φ x) = (T^#φ) x for all and x∈X. We also characterize the sets with the property that is uniformly summing viewed in . Received: 1 July 2005

Let X be the Cantor set and φ be a minimal homeomorphism on . We show that the crossed product C^*-algebra is a simple A -algebra provided that the associated cocycle takes its values in rotations on . Given two minimal systems and such that φ and ψ arise from cocycles with values in isometric homeomorphisms on , we show that two systems are approximately K-conjugate when they have the same K-theoretical information.

Here, δ_Γ(·) is a generalization of the δ-function constructed on a bounded closed smooth surface Γ⊂R ^d , k≥1 and acting on finite continuous functions φ(·) in R ^d according to the rule where ι(·) is a surface measure on Γ.

We consider a multiply connected domain where denotes the unit disk and denotes the closed disk centered at with radius r _j for j = 1, . . . , n. We show that if T is a bounded linear operator on a Banach space X whose spectrum contains ∂Ω and does not contain the points λ₁, λ₂, . . . , λ _n , and the operators T and r _j (T − λ _j I)⁻¹ are polynomially bounded, then there exists a nontrivial common invariant subspace for T ^* and (T − λ _j I)^*-1.     

On groups of type Φ

We define a group G to be of type Φ if it has the property that for every -module G, proj. G < ∞ iff proj. H G < ∞ for every finite subgroup H of G. We conjecture that the type Φ is an algebraic characterization of those groups G which admit a finite dimensional model for , the classifying space for the family of the finite subgroups of G. We also conjecture that the type Φ is equivalent to spli being finite, where spli is the supremum of the projective lengths of the injective -modules. Here we prove certain parts of these conjectures. The project is cofounded by the European Social Fund and National Resources–EPEAK II–Pythagoras. Received: 21 June 2006

We also show that if is quasi-primitive, then for every normal subgroup M of G the irreducible constituents of are Fong for M. Received: 21 July 2006 Revised: 17 January 2007     

Properties of Auto- and Antiautomorphisms of Maximal Chain Structures and their Relations to i-Perspectivities

Let E be a non empty set, let P : = E × E, := {x × E|x ∈ E}, := {E × x|x ∈ E}, and := {C ∈ 2 ^P |∀X ∈ : |C ∩ X| = 1} and let . Then the quadruple resp. is called chain structure resp. maximal chain structure. We consider the maximal chain structure as an envelope of the chain structure . Particular chain structures are webs, 2-structures, (coordinatized) affine planes, hyperbola structures or Minkowski planes. Here we study in detail the groups of automorphisms , , , related to a maximal chain structure . The set of all chains can be turned in a group such that the subgroup of generated by the left-, by the right-translations and by ι the inverse map of is isomorphic to (cf. (2.14)).     

The Asymptotics of the Two-Dimensional Wave Equation for a General Multi-Connected Vibrating Membrane with Piecewise Smooth Robin Boundary Conditions

The asymptotic expansion for small |t| of the trace of the wave kernel ∧↑μ(t) =∑v=1^∞exp(-it μv^1/2), where i= √-1 and {μv}v=1^∞ are the eigenvalues of the negative Laplacian -△=-∑β=1^2(δ/δx^β)^2 in the (x^1, x^2)-plane, is studied for a multi-connected vibrating membrane Ω in R^2 surrounded by simply connected bounded domains Ωj with smooth boundaries δΩj(j=1,...,n), where a finite number of piecewise smooth Robin boundary conditions on the piecewise smooth components Гi(i=1 κj-1,...,κj) of the boundaries δΩj are considered, such that δΩj=∪i=1 κj-1^κj Гi and κ0=0. The basic problem is to extract information on the geometry of Ω using the wave equation approach. Some geometric quantities of Ω (e.g. the area of Ω, the total lengths of its boundary, the curvature of its boundary, the number of the holes of Ω, etc.) are determined from the asymptotic expansion of the trace of the wave kernel ∧↑μ(t) for small |t|.

The asymptotic expansions of the trace of the heat kernel θ(t)=∑^∞v=1^exp(-tλv) for small positive t,where {λv} are the eigenvalues of the negative Laplacian -△n=-∑^ni=1(D/Dx^1)^2 in R^2(n=2 or 3),are studied for a general annular bounded domain Ω with a smooth inner boundary DΩ1 and a smooth outer boundary DΩ2,where a finite number of piecewise smooth Robin boundary conditions(D/Dnj γh)Ф=0 on the components Гj(j= 1,...,m) of (DΩ1 and on the components Гj (j=k 1,…,m) of of DΩ2 are considered such that DΩl=U^kj=lГj and DΩ2= U^m=k 1Гj and where the coefficients γj(j=1,...,m) are piecewise smooth positive functions. Some applications of θ(t) for an ideal gas enclosed in the general annular bounded domain Ω are given. Further results are also obtained.     

Some properties of essential spectra of a positive operator, II

Let T be a positive operator on a Banach lattice E. Some properties of Weyl essential spectrum σ_ew(T), in particular, the equality , where is the set of all compact operators on E, are established. If r(T) does not belong to Fredholm essential spectrum σ_ef(T), then for every a ≠ 0, where T₋₁ is a residue of the resolvent R(., T) at r(T). The new conditions for which implies , are derived. The question when the relation holds, where is Lozanovsky’s essential spectrum, will be considered. Lozanovsky’s order essential spectrum is introduced. A number of auxiliary results are proved. Among them the following generalization of Nikol’sky’s theorem: if T is an operator of index zero, then T = R + K, where R is invertible, K ≥ 0 is of finite rank. Under the natural assumptions (one of them is ) a theorem about the Frobenius normal form is proved: there exist T-invariant bands such that if , where , then an operator on D_i is band irreducible.
