Anisotropic Triebel-Lizorkin spaces with doubling measures

We introduce and study anisotropic Triebel-Lizorkin spaces associated with general expansive dilations and doubling measures on ℝⁿ with the use of wavelet transforms. This work generalizes the isotropic methods of dyadic ϕ-transforms of Frazier and Jawerth to nonisotropic settings. We extend results involving boundedness of wavelet transforms, almost diagonality, smooth atomic and molecular decompositions to the setting of doubling measures. We also develop localization techniques in the endpoint case of p = ∞, where the usual definition of Triebel-Lizorkin spaces is replaced by its localized version. Finally, we establish nonsmooth atomic decompositions in the range of 0 < p ≤ 1, which is analogous to the usual Hardy space atomic decompositions.     

Duality theorem for B‐valued martingale Orlicz–Hardy spaces associated with concave functions

The dual space of B ‐valued martingale Orlicz–Hardy space with a concave function Φ, which is associated with the conditional p‐variation of B ‐valued martingale, is characterized. To obtain the results, a new type of Campanato spaces for B ‐valued martingales is introduced and the classical technique of atomic decompositions is improved. Some results obtained here are connected closely with the p‐uniform smoothness and q‐uniform convexity of the underlying Banach space.     

Invariant Maximal Positive Subspaces and Polar Decompositions

It is proved that invertible operators on a Krein space which have an invariant maximal uniformly positive subspace and map its orthogonal complement into a nonnegative subspace allow polar decompositions with additional spectral properties. As a corollary, several classes of Krein space operators are shown to allow polar decompositions. An example in a finite dimensional Krein space shows that there exist dissipative operators that do not allow polar decompositions.     

On the definition of a probabilistic normed space

Summary In this paper we give a new definition of a probabilistic normed space. This definition, which is based on a characterization of normed spaces by means of a betweenness relation, includes the earlier definition of A. N. erstnev as a special case and leads naturally to the definition of the principal class of probabilistic normed spaces, the Menger spaces.     

Affine Jacquet functors and Harish-Chandra categories

We define an affine Jacquet functor and use it to describe the structure of induced affine Harish-Chandra modules at noncritical levels, extending the theorem of Kac and Kazhdan on the structure of Verma modules in the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand categories O for Kac-Moody algebras. This is combined with a vanishing result for certain extension groups to construct a block decomposition of the categories of affine Harish-Chandra modules of Lian and Zuckerman. The latter provides an extension of the works of Rocha-Caridi and Wallach [A. Rocha-Caridi, N.R. Wallach, Projective modules over infinite dimensional graded Lie algebras, Math. Z. 180 (1982) 151-177] and Deodhar, Gabber and Kac [V. Deodhar, O. Gabber, V. Kac, Structure of some categories of representations of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras, Adv. Math. 45 (1982) 92-116] on block decompositions of BGG categories for Kac-Moody algebras. We also derive a compatibility relation between the affine Jacquet functor and the Kazhdan-Lusztig tensor product and apply it to prove that the affine Harish-Chandra category is stable under fusion tensoring with the Kazhdan-Lusztig category. This compatibility will be further applied in studying translation functors for the affine Harish-Chandra category, based on the fusion tensor product.     

Some new classes of Banach-Mackey spaces

Some weakenings of property (K) of Antosik for locally convex spaces are introduced: local property (K) and, for spaces with Schauder-type decompositions, two variants of property (K) defined in terms of block- and tail-sequences. It is shown that if a space enjoys any of these new properties, then it is Banach-Mackey. An application to the barrelledness of the spaces of Pettis integrable functions is given, and examples are provided to distinguish between the various K-type properties.     

The composition of Wiener functionals with non absolutely continuous Shifts

Summary In this paper we study some classes of Wiener functionals whose elements can be composed with a non-linear, non-absolutely continous transformation of the form of perturbation of identity in the direction of Cameron-Martin space. We show that under certain conditions the image of the Wiener measure under the above transformation induces a generalized Wiener functional on certain Sobolev spaces generalizing the Radon-Nikodym relation to non absolutely continuous transformations. A series representation for the generalized Radon-Nikodym derivative is presented and conditional expectations of some generalized random variables are considered.

Itô's formula in UMD Banach spaces and regularity of solutions of the Zakai equation

Using the theory of stochastic integration for processes with values in a UMD Banach space developed recently by the authors, an Itô formula is proved which is applied to prove the existence of strong solutions for a class of stochastic evolution equations in UMD Banach spaces. The abstract results are applied to prove regularity in space and time of the solutions of the Zakai equation.     

A bounded property for gradients of diffusion semigroups on Euclidean spaces

We consider uniformly elliptic diffusion processes X(t,x) on Euclidean spaces , with some conditions in terms of the drift term (see assumptions A2 and A3). By using interpolation theory, we show a bounded property which gives an estimate of involving |x| and but not ||∇f||_∞, and a power of smaller than 1.     

Extension and lifting of polynomials

Doob's inequality,Burkholder-Gundy inequality and martingale transforms on martingale Morrey spaces

We introduce the martingale Morrey spaces built on Banach function spaces. We establish the Doob's inequality, the Burkholder-Gundy inequality and the boundedness of martingale transforms for our martingale Morrey spaces. We also introduce the martingale block spaces. By the Doob's inequality on martingale block spaces, we obtain the Davis' decompositions for martingale Morrey spaces.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis>-bounded Representations of <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript>1</Superscript> (<Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>)

We investigate R-bounded representations , where X is a Banach space and G is a lca group. Observing that Ψ induces a (strongly continuous) group homomorphism , we are then able to analyze certain classical homomorphisms U (e.g. translations in L^p (G)) from the viewpoint of R-boundedness and the theory of scalar-type spectral operators.

Optimal blow up rate for the constants of Khinchin type inequalities

We provide, among other results, the optimal blow up rate of the constants of a family of Khinchin inequalities for multiple sums.     

Convergence of Riesz space martingales

We prove a martingale convergence for sub and super martingales on Riesz spaces. As a consequence we can form Krickeberg and Riesz like decompositions. The minimality of the Krickeberg decomposition yields a natural ordered lattice structure on the space of convergent martingales making this space into a Dedekind complete Riesz space. Finally we show that the Riesz space of convergent martingales is Riesz isomorphic to the order closure of the union of the ranges of the conditional expectations in the filtration. Consequently we can characterize the space of order convergent martingales both in Riesz spaces and in the setting of probability spaces.     

Atomic and molecular decompositions of anisotropic Besov spaces

In this work we develop the theory of weighted anisotropic Besov spaces associated with general expansive matrix dilations and doubling measures with the use of discrete wavelet transforms. This study extends the isotropic Littlewood- Paley methods of dyadic -transforms of Frazier and Jawerth [19, 21] to non-isotropic settings.Several results of isotropic theory of Besov spaces are recovered for weighted anisotropic Besov spaces. We show that these spaces are characterized by the magnitude of the -transforms in appropriate sequence spaces. We also prove boundedness of an anisotropic analogue of the class of almost diagonal operators and we obtain atomic and molecular decompositions of weighted anisotropic Besov spaces, thus extending isotropic results of Frazier and Jawerth [21].The author was partially supported by the NSF grant DMS-0441817.     

Polynomial numerical indices of Banach spaces with absolute norm

We study when a Banach space with absolute norm may have polynomial numerical indices equal to one. In the real case, we show that a Banach space X with absolute norm, which has the Radon-Nikodým property or is Asplund, satisfies n⁽²⁾(X)<1 unless it is one-dimensional. In the complex case, we show that the only Banach spaces X with absolute norm and the Radon-Nikodým property which satisfy n⁽²⁾(X)=1 are the spaces . Also, the only Asplund complex space X with absolute norm which satisfies n⁽²⁾(X)=1 is c₀(Λ).     

Norm-attaining compact operators

We show examples of compact linear operators between Banach spaces which cannot be approximated by norm attaining operators. This is the negative answer to an open question posed in the 1970s. Actually, any strictly convex Banach space failing the approximation property serves as the range space. On the other hand, there are examples in which the domain space has a Schauder basis.     

Interpolation of bilinear operators and compactness

The behavior of bilinear operators acting on interpolation of Banach spaces for the ρ method in relation to the compactness is analyzed. Similar results of Lions-Peetre, Hayakawa and Persson’s compactness theorems are obtained for the bilinear case and the ρ method.
