Boundedness of pseudodifferential operators on modulation spaces

We study classes of pseudodifferential operators which are bounded on large collections of modulation spaces. The conditions on the operators are stated in terms of the L^p,q estimates for the continuous Gabor transforms of their symbols. In particular, we show how these classes are related to the class of operators of Gröchenig and Heil, which is bounded on all modulation spaces.     

Integral representations and convergence of the renewal density

We derive integral representations for the renewal density u associated with a square integrable probability density p on [0,∞) having finite expected value μ. These representations express u in terms of the real and the imaginary part of the Fourier transform of p, considered as a function on the lower complex half plane. We use them to give simple global integrability conditions on p under which limt→∞(u(t)−p(t))=1/μ.     

Paley-Wiener-Type Theorems for a Class of Integral Transforms

A characterization of weighted L₂(I) spaces in terms of their images under various integral transformations is derived, where I is an interval (finite or infinite). This characterization is then used to derive Paley-Wiener-type theorems for these spaces. Unlike the classical Paley-Wiener theorem, our theorems use real variable techniques and do not require analytic continuation to the complex plane. The class of integral transformations considered is related to singular Sturm-Liouville boundary-value problems on a half line and on the whole line.     

Formal loops III: Additive functions and the Radon transform

To any algebraic variety X and closed 2-form ω on X, we associate the “symplectic action functional” T(ω) which is a function on the formal loop space LX introduced by the authors earlier. The correspondence ω→T(ω) can be seen as a version of the Radon transform. We give a characterization of the functions of the form T(ω) in terms of factorizability (infinitesimal analog of additivity in holomorphic pairs of pants) as well as in terms of vertex operator algebras.These results will be used in the subsequent paper which will relate the gerbe of chiral differential operators on X (whose lien is the sheaf of closed 2-forms) and the determinantal gerbe of the tangent bundle of LX (whose lien is the sheaf of invertible functions on LX). On the level of liens this relation associates to a closed 2-form ω the invertible function expT(ω).     

Estimations of Hölder Regularities and Direction of Singularity by Hart Smith and Curvelet Transforms

Using Hart Smith’s and curvelet transforms, new necessary and new sufficient conditions for an L ²(?²) function to possess Hölder regularity, uniform and pointwise, with exponent α>0 are given. Similar to the characterization of Hölder regularity by the continuous wavelet transform, the conditions here are in terms of bounds of the transforms across fine scales. However, due to the parabolic scaling, the sufficient and necessary conditions differ in both the uniform and pointwise cases. We also investigate square-integrable functions with sufficiently smooth background. Specifically, sufficient and necessary conditions, which include the special case with 1-dimensional singularity line, are derived for pointwise Hölder exponent. Inside their “cones” of influence, these conditions are practically the same, giving near-characterization of direction of singularity.     

Mean convergence of Fourier-Dunkl series

In the context of the Dunkl transform a complete orthogonal system arises in a very natural way. This paper studies the weighted norm convergence of the Fourier series expansion associated to this system. We establish conditions on the weights, in terms of the Ap classes of Muckenhoupt, which ensure the convergence. Necessary conditions are also proved, which for a wide class of weights coincide with the sufficient conditions.     

Gevrey normal forms of vector fields with one zero eigenvalue

We study normal forms of isolated singularities of vector fields in Rn or Cn. When all eigenvalues of the linear part of the vector field are nonzero, one can eliminate all so-called nonresonant terms from the equation provided some spectral condition (like Siegel) is satisfied. In this paper, we discuss the case where there is one zero eigenvalue (in that case Siegel's condition is not satisfied), and show that the formal normalizing transformations are either convergent or divergent of at most Gevrey type. In some cases, we show the summability of the normalizing transformations, which leads to the existence of analytic normal forms in complex sectors around the singularity.     

A characterization of inverse Radon transform on the Laguerre hypergroup

Let K=[0,∞)×R be the Laguerre hypergroup which is the fundamental manifold of the radial function space for the Heisenberg group. In this note we give another characterization for a subspace of S(K) (Schwartz space) such that the Radon transform Rα on K is a bijection. We show that this characterization is equivalent to that in [M.M. Nessibi, K. Trimèche, Inversion of the Radon transform on the Laguerre hypergroup by using generalized wavelets, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 208 (1997) 337-363]. In addition, we establish an inversion formula of the Radon transform Rα in the weak sense.     

The Segal-Bargmann transform for noncompact symmetric spaces of the complex type

We consider the generalized Segal-Bargmann transform, defined in terms of the heat operator, for a noncompact symmetric space of the complex type. For radial functions, we show that the Segal-Bargmann transform is a unitary map onto a certain L² space of meromorphic functions. For general functions, we give an inversion formula for the Segal-Bargmann transform, involving integration against an “unwrapped” version of the heat kernel for the dual compact symmetric space. Both results involve delicate cancellations of singularities.     

Strong annihilating pairs for the Fourier-Bessel transform

The aim of this paper is to prove two new uncertainty principles for the Fourier-Bessel transform (or Hankel transform). The first of these results is an extension of a result of Amrein, Berthier and Benedicks, it states that a non-zero function f and its Fourier-Bessel transform Fα(f) cannot both have support of finite measure. The second result states that the supports of f and Fα(f) cannot both be (ε,α)-thin, this extending a result of Shubin, Vakilian and Wolff. As a side result we prove that the dilation of a C₀-function are linearly independent. We also extend Faris's local uncertainty principle to the Fourier-Bessel transform.     

Harmonic functions with boundary values on Herz spaces

We discuss continuity of the Poisson transform on Herz spaces Bp as well as its action on weighted versions of these sets. We also consider Banach- valued versions of Herz spaces and study some of their properties.     

Berezin-Toeplitz quantization on Lie groups

Let K be a connected compact semisimple Lie group and KC its complexification. The generalized Segal-Bargmann space for KC is a space of square-integrable holomorphic functions on KC, with respect to a K-invariant heat kernel measure. This space is connected to the “Schrödinger” Hilbert space L²(K) by a unitary map, the generalized Segal-Bargmann transform. This paper considers certain natural operators on L²(K), namely multiplication operators and differential operators, conjugated by the generalized Segal-Bargmann transform. The main results show that the resulting operators on the generalized Segal-Bargmann space can be represented as Toeplitz operators. The symbols of these Toeplitz operators are expressed in terms of a certain subelliptic heat kernel on KC. I also examine some of the results from an infinite-dimensional point of view based on the work of L. Gross and P. Malliavin.     

Sharp L 2 boundedness of the oscillatory hyper-Hilbert transform along curves

Consider the oscillatory hyper-Hilbert transform Hn,α,βf（x）=∫0^1 f（x-Г（t））e^it-βt^-1-α dt along the curve P（t） = （tp1, tP2,..., tpn）, where β 〉 α ≥ 0 and 0 〈 p1 〈 p2 〈 ... 〈 Pn. We prove that H n,α,β is bounded on L2 if and only if β ≥ （n ＋ 1）α. Our work extends and improves some known results.     

Holder Norm Estimate for a Hilbert Transform in Hermitean Clifford Analysis

A Hilbert transform for H?lder continuous circulant (2 × 2) matrix functions, on the d-summable (or fractal) boundary Γ of a Jordan domain Ω in ?²ⁿ , has recently been introduced within the framework of Hermitean Clifford analysis. The main goal of the present paper is to estimate the H?lder norm of this Hermitean Hilbert transform. The expression for the upper bound of this norm is given in terms of the H?lder exponents, the diameter of Γ and a specific d-sum (d > d) of the Whitney decomposition of Ω. The result is shown to include the case of a more standard Hilbert transform for domains with left Ahlfors-David regular boundary.     

The complex Busemann-Petty problem on sections of convex bodies

The complex Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin symmetric convex bodies in Cn with smaller central hyperplane sections necessarily have smaller volume. We prove that the answer is affirmative if n?3 and negative if n?4.     

Truncation functions and Laplace transform

We note the increase in the parameter c of the symmetrized Laplace transform of a random variable truncated at level c. We illustrate this remark for both the exponential and the uniform variables.     

Hua operators and Poisson transform for bounded symmetric domains

Let Ω be a bounded symmetric domain of non-tube type in Cn with rank r and S its Shilov boundary. We consider the Poisson transform Psf(z) for a hyperfunction f on S defined by the Poisson kernel Ps(z,u)=s(h(z,z)^n/r/²|h(z,u)^n/r|), (z,u)×Ω×S, s∈C. For all s satisfying certain non-integral condition we find a necessary and sufficient condition for the functions in the image of the Poisson transform in terms of Hua operators. When Ω is the type I matrix domain in Mn,m(C) (n?m), we prove that an eigenvalue equation for the second order Mn,n-valued Hua operator characterizes the image.     

A variant of the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma for circulant matrices

We continue our study of the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma and its connection to circulant matrices started in Hinrichs and Vybíral (in press) [7]. We reduce the bound on k from k=Ω(ε−2log³n) proven there to k=Ω(ε−2log²n). Our technique differs essentially from the one used in Hinrichs and Vybíral (in press) [7]. We employ the discrete Fourier transform and singular value decomposition to deal with the dependency caused by the circulant structure.     

Chirp transforms and Chirp series

Motivated by the recent work on the non-harmonic Fourier atoms initiated by T. Qian and the non-harmonic Fourier series which originated from the celebrated work of Paley and Wiener, we introduce an integral version of the non-harmonic Fourier series, called Chirp transform. As an integral transform with kernel ei?(t)θ(ω), the Chirp transform is an unitary isometry from L²(R,d?) onto L²(R,dθ) and it can be explicitly defined in terms of generalized Hermite polynomials. The corresponding Chirp series take einθ(t) as a basis which in some sense is dual to the theory of non-harmonic Fourier series which take eiλnt as a basis. The Chirp version of the Shannon sampling theorem and the Poisson summation formula are also considered by dealing with sampling points which may non-equally distributed. Since the Chirp transform interchanges weighted derivatives into multiplications, it plays a role in solving certain differential equations with variable coefficients. In addition, we extend T. Qian's theorem on the characterization of a measure to be a linear combination of a number of harmonic measures on the unit disc with positive integer coefficients to that with positive rational coefficients.     

Riesz transform on locally symmetric spaces and Riemannian manifolds with a spectral gap

In this paper we study the Riesz transform on complete and connected Riemannian manifolds M with a certain spectral gap in the L² spectrum of the Laplacian. We show that on such manifolds the Riesz transform is Lp bounded for all p∈(1,∞). This generalizes a result by Mandouvalos and Marias and extends a result by Auscher, Coulhon, Duong, and Hofmann to the case where zero is an isolated point of the L² spectrum of the Laplacian.
