Corrigenda to “Barth type vanishing theorems”

We fix a mistake contained in a previous paper concerning vanishing theorems for low codimensional varieties in . This work is within the framework of the national research project “Geomety on Algebraic Varieties” Cofin 2008 of MIUR.     

Functional limit theorems for the “disorder” problem

Let X ⁽ⁿ⁾=(X _k ), 1≦k≦n be random process with discrete time defined by its transition probabilities which belong to some parametric family. It is assumed that the parameters of the transition probabilities before and/or after disorder as well as the disorder time, are unknown. For statistical purposes the processes of Radon-Nikodym derivatives of the measures generated by processes with disorder at the time s with respect to the measure generated by process without disorder where 1≦s≦n are often used. In the paper general sufficient conditions are given for weak convergence of these processes. Some examples are given to illustrate the application of the results obtained.     

Szegő limit theorems

The first Szeg limit theorem has been extended by Bump–Diaconis and Tracy–Widom to limits of other minors of Toeplitz matrices. We use a more geometric method to extend their results still further. Namely, we allow more general measures and more general determinants. We also give a new extension to higher dimensions, which extends a theorem of Helson and Lowdenslager.     

Mapping theorems on ℵ-spaces

We prove two mapping theorems on ℵ-spaces: (1) ℵ-spaces are preserved under closed, Lindelöf mappings; (2) a perfect inverse image of an ℵ-space is an ℵ-space if and only if it has a G_δ-diagonal.     

A critical remark on “Fixed point theorems for occasionally weakly compatible mappings”

In the present paper, we show that under contractive conditions, the existence of a common fixed point and occasional weak compatibility are equivalent conditions. We also show that contractive conditions employed by Jungck and Rhoades [Fixed point theorems for occasionally weakly compatible mappings, Fixed Point Theory 7(2) (2006) 287–296; Fixed Point Theory 9 (2008) 383–384 (erratum)] do not provide a nontrivial setting for the application of occasional weak compatible mappings. Finally, we improve the results of Jungck and Rhoades by employing a proper setting.     

An alternative approach to “fixed point theorems for occasionally weakly compatible mappings”

The aim of this short communication is to provide an alternative of Bisht and Pant result (2013) [1, Theorem 1.2] in the context of framing proper setting for the application of occasionally weakly compatible mappings.     

Three theorems on σ-m-expandable spaces

Results concerning the connections between -m-expandability and compact-m-expandability, as well as the connections between -m-normality and compact-m-normality. Two problems are proposed.     

Intersection homology Künneth theorems

Cohen, Goresky, and Ji showed that there is a Künneth theorem relating the intersection homology groups to and , provided that the perversity satisfies rather strict conditions. We consider biperversities and prove that there is a Künneth theorem relating to and for all choices of and . Furthermore, we prove that the Künneth theorem still holds when the biperversity p, q is “loosened” a little, and using this we recover the Künneth theorem of Cohen–Goresky–Ji.     

On generalised Putnam—Fuglede theorems

LetB(H) denote the algebra of operators on the Hilbert spaceH, and letP denote the class ofAB(H) which are such that the restriction ofA to an invariant subspace is inP wheneverAP and which satisfy the property, henceforth called property (P 2), that if the restriction ofA to an invariant subspace is normal, then the subspace reducesA. GivenP-classesP ₁ andP ₂, the pair (P ₁,P ₂) is said to satisfy the (PF)-property if givenAP ₁ andB ^* P ₂ such thatAB=XB for someXB(H), we haveA ^* X=XB ^* . Generalising the (classical) Putnam—Fuglede theorem, it is shown here that the pair (P ₁,P ₂) has the (PF)-property if and only if, givenAP ₁ andB ^*P ₂ such thatAX=XB for some quasi-affinityXB(H), the following conditions hold: (i)B ^* is normal impliesA is normal; (ii)A has a normal direct summand impliesB ^* has a normal direct summand; (iii)A andB ^* pure impliesX is non-existent. An interestingP-class is the classC ₀ of contractions withC ₀ completely non-unitary parts which satisfy property (P 2). AssumingH to be separable, it is shown that ifC ₁ denotes thoseA C ₀ for which the defect operatorsD _A =(1–A^*A)^1/2 is of Hilbert—Schmidt class and for which either the pure part ofA has empty point spectrum or the eigen-values ofA are all simple, then the pair (C ₀,C ₁) has the (PF)-property. The classC ₁ defines aP-class; a crucial role in the proof of this statement is played by the interesting result that aC ₀ contraction with spectrum on the unit circle can not satisfy property (P 2). Applications of these results are considered, amongst them that ifA andB are quasi-similar hyponormal contractions such that the pure part ofA has finite multiplicity andD _B is of Hilbert —Schmidt class, then their normal parts are unitarily equivalent and their pure parts are quasi-similar.     

Darling-Erdős theorems for martingales

This paper considers Darlin-Erds theorems for sums of martingale differences. Our main theorem provides an optimal result for the case of bounded martingale difference sequences. A number of other results are presented, which deal with the unbounded case and which specialize to the case of independent summands. Previous related work on this problem has been based on deep strong approximation theorems. One of the novel features of our approach is that our methods rely on the more easily accessible Skorokhod-type embeddings.     

New Erdös-Kac type theorems

Assuming a quasi Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (quasi-GRH for short) for Dedekind zeta functions over Kummer fields of the type we prove the following prime analogue of a conjecture of Erd?s & Pomerance (1985) concerning the exponent function f_a(p) (defined to be the minimal exponent e for which a^e ≡ 1 modulo p):

Three theorems on ρ* random fields

This paper generalizes results by Bradley.⁽³⁾ Suppose that for 1=1,2,...X _k ¹ :k ^d is a centered, weakly stationary ^*-mixing random field, and suppose lim_l Cov(X ₀ ¹ ,x _k ¹ ) exists, anyk ^d . Then the successive spectral densities converge uniformly to a continuous function. For a sequence of strictly stationary random fields that are uniformly ^*-mixing and satisfy a indeberg condition, a CLT is proved for sequences of sums from the fields. This result is then applied: given a centered strictly stationary ^*-mixing random field whose probability density and joint densities are continuous, then a kernel estimator for the probability density obeys the CLT.     

On two theorems of Sierpiński

A theorem of Sierpiński says that every infinite set Q of reals contains an infinite number of disjoint subsets whose outer Lebesgue measure is the same as that of Q. He also has a similar theorem involving Baire property. We give a general theorem of this type and its corollaries, strengthening classical results.     

Szegö limit theorems in quantum mechanics

We prove a Szegö-type theorem for some Schrödinger operators of the form $\text{H =}\text{?1}\text{2Δ}\text{+ V}$ with V smooth, positive and growing like $\text{V}{}_0\text{¦x¦}{}^{\mathrm{k}}\text{, k > 0}$. Namely, let π_λ be the orthogonal projection of L² onto the space of the eigenfunctions of H with eigenvalue ?λ; let A be a 0th order self-adjoint pseudo-differential operator relative to Beals-Fefferman weights $\text{?(x, ξ) = 1, Φ(x, ξ) = (1 + ¦ξ¦}{}^2\text{+ V(x))}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ and with total symbol a(x, ξ); and let f∈C($\text{R}$). Then

$\text{lim}\text{λ→∞}\text{1}\text{rank}\text{π}{}_{\mathrm{\lambda }}\text{tr}\text{f(π}{}_{\mathrm{\lambda }}\text{Aπ}{}_{\mathrm{\lambda }}\text{)=}\text{lim}\text{λ→∞}\text{1}\text{vol}\text{(H(x, ξ)?λ)}\text{∫}\text{H?λ}\text{f(a(x, ξ))dxdξ}$

(assuming one limit exists).     

Division and k-th root theorems for Q-manifolds

We prove that a locally compact ANR-space X is a Q-manifold if and only if it has the Disjoint Disk Property (DDP), all points of X are homological Z∞-points and X has the countable-dimensional approximation property (cd-AP), which means that each map f:K→X of a compact polyhedron can be approximated by a map with the countable-dimensional image. As an application we prove that a space X with DDP and cd-AP is a Q-manifold if some finite power of X is a Q-manifold. If some finite power of a space X with cd-AP is a Q-manifold, then X2 and X×[0,1] are Q-manifolds as well. We construct a countable familyχof spaces with DDP and cd-AP such that no space X∈χis homeomorphic to the Hilbert cube Q whereas the product X×Y of any different spaces X, Y∈χis homeomorphic to Q. We also show that no uncountable familyχwith such properties exists.
