The Hilbert function of a maximal Cohen-Macaulay module

We study Hilbert functions of maximal CM modules over CM local rings. When A is a hypersurface ring with dimension d>0, we show that the Hilbert function of M with respect to is non-decreasing. If A=Q/(f) for some regular local ring Q, we determine a lower bound for e₀(M) and e₁(M) and analyze the case when equality holds. When A is Gorenstein a relation between the second Hilbert coefficient of M, A and S^A(M)= (Syz^A₁(M*))* is found when G(M) is CM and depthG(A)≥d−1. We give bounds for the first Hilbert coefficients of the canonical module of a CM local ring and analyze when equality holds. We also give good bounds on Hilbert coefficients of M when M is maximal CM and G(M) is CM.     

Trianalytic Subvarieties of the Hilbert Scheme of Points on a K3 Surface

Let X be a hyperk?hler manifold. Trianalytic subvarieties of X are subvarieties which are complex analytic with respect to all complex structures induced by the hyperk?hler structure. Given a K3 surface M, the Hilbert scheme classifying zero-dimensional subschemes of M admits a hyperk?hler structure. We show that for M generic, there are no trianalytic subvarieties of the Hilbert scheme. This implies that a generic deformation of the Hilbert scheme of K3 has no proper complex subvarieties.

Generalized Hilbert Functions

Let M be a finite module, and let I be an arbitrary ideal over a Noetherian local ring. We define the generalized Hilbert function of I on M using the zeroth local cohomology functor. We show that our definition reconciliates with that of Ciuperc?. By generalizing Singh's formula (which holds in the case of λ(M/IM) < ∞), we prove that the generalized Hilbert coefficients 𝔧₀,…, 𝔧 _d?2 are preserved under a general hyperplane section, where d = dim M. We also keep track of the behavior of 𝔧 _d?1. Then we apply these results to study the generalized Hilbert function for ideals that have minimal j-multiplicity or almost minimal j-multiplicity. We provide counterexamples to show that the generalized Hilbert series of ideals having minimal or almost minimal j-multiplicity does not have the ‘expected’ shape described in the case where λ(M/IM) < ∞. Finally, we give a sufficient condition such that the generalized Hilbert series has the desired shape.     

How to compute the multigraded Hilbert depth of a module

In the first part of this paper we introduce a method for computing Hilbert decompositions (and consequently the Hilbert depth) of a finitely generated multigraded module M over the polynomial ring by reducing the problem to the computation of the finite set of the new defined Hilbert partitions. In the second part we show how Hilbert partitions may be used for computing the Stanley depth of the module M. In particular, we answer two open questions posed by Herzog in 8 .     

The Arveson Extension Theorem and coanalytic models

We develop techniques which allow one to describe in simple terms the set of operators on Hilbert space of the form M^{* ()} |M, where M is multiplication by z on a Hilbert space of analytic functions satisfying certain technical assumptions, M^{* ()} is the direct sum of a countably infinite number of copies of M^*, andM is invariant for M^{* ()}. One of the main ingredients in our technique is the Arveson Extension Theorem and this paper illustrates the great power and tractability of that theorem in a concrete setting.Research partially supported by NSF grant MCS 81-02518     

Topological and bornological characterisations of ideals in von Neumann algebras: II

SupposeM is a von Neumann algebra on a Hilbert spaceH andI is any norm closed ideal inM. We extend to this setting the well known fact that the compact operators on a Hilbert space are precisely those whose restrictions to the closed unit ball are weak to norm continuous.     

Orthonormal bases with nonlinear phases

For adaptive representation of nonlinear signals, the bank M{\cal M} of real square integrable functions that have nonlinear phases and nonnegative instantaneous frequencies under the analytic signal method is investigated. A particular class of functions with explicit expressions in M{\cal M} is obtained using recent results on the Bedrosian identity. We then construct orthonormal bases for the Hilbert space of real square integrable functions with the basis functions from M{\cal M}.     

On completely irreducible operators

Let T be a bounded linear operator on Hilbert space H, M an invariant subspace of T. If there exists another invariant subspace N of T such that H = M + N and M ∩ N = 0, then M is said to be a completely reduced subspace of T. If T has a nontrivial completely reduced subspace, then T is said to be completely reducible; otherwise T is said to be completely irreducible. In the present paper we briefly sum up works on completely irreducible operators that have been done by the Functional Analysis Seminar of Jilin University in the past ten years and more. The paper contains four sections. In section 1 the background of completely irreducible operators is given in detail. Section 2 shows which operator in some well-known classes of operators, for example, weighted shifts, Toeplitz operators, etc., is completely irreducible. In section 3 it is proved that every bounded linear operator on the Hilbert space can be approximated by the finite direct sum of completely irreducible operators. It is clear that a completely irreducible operator is a rather suitable analogue of Jordan blocks in L(H), the set of all bounded linear operators on Hilbert space H. In section 4 several questions concerning completely irreducible operators are discussed and it is shown that some properties of completely irreducible operators are different from properties of unicellular operators. __________ Translated from Acta Sci.

Equivalence of quotient Hilbert modules

LetM be a Hilbert module of holomorphic functions over a natural function algebraA(Ω), where Ω ⊆ ℂ ^m is a bounded domain. LetM ₀ ⊆M be the submodule of functions vanishing to orderk on a hypersurfaceZ ⊆ Ω. We describe a method, which in principle may be used, to construct a set of complete unitary invariants for quotient modulesQ =M ⊖M ₀ The invariants are given explicitly in the particular case ofk = 2.     

Paranormal and ( p, k )-quasihyponormal operators: Spectral continuity

Continuity of the set theoretic functions spectrum, Weyl spectrum, Browder spectrum and essential surjectivity spectrum on the classes consisting of (p, k)-quasihyponormal,M-hyponormal, totally *-paranormal and paranormal (Hilbert space) operators is proved.     

Infinite Dimensional Bicomplex Spectral Decomposition Theorem

This paper presents a bicomplex version of the Spectral Decomposition Theorem on infinite dimensional bicomplex Hilbert spaces. In the process, the ideas of bounded linear operators, orthogonal complements and compact operators on bicomplex Hilbert spaces are introduced and treated in relation with the classical Hilbert space M′ imbedded in any bicomplex Hilbert space M.     

A converse to the Oka principle over certain complex Banach manifolds

First Kajiwara then Leiterer gave geometric or cohomological criteria in the spirit of the Grauert-Oka principle for an open subset D of a Stein manifold M to be itself Stein. We give here criteria analogous to Leiterer's, e.g., for a relatively open subset D of a closed complex Hilbert submanifold M of separable Hilbert space to be itself biholomorphic to a closed complex Hilbert submanifold of separable Hilbert space.     

Vector-valued Modulation Spaces and Localization Operators with Operator-valued Symbols

We study the short-time Fourier transformation, modulation spaces, Gabor representations and time-frequency localization operators, for functions and tempered distributions that have as range space a Banach or a Hilbert space. In the Banach space case the theory of modulation spaces contains some modifications of the scalar-valued theory, depending on the Banach space. In the Hilbert space case the modulation spaces have properties similar to the scalar-valued case and the Gabor frame theory essentially works. For localization operators in this context symbols are operator-valued. We generalize two results from the scalar-valued theory on continuity on certain modulation spaces when the symbol belongs to an L^p,q space and M^∞, respectively. The first result is true for any Banach space as range space, and the second result is true for any Hilbert space as range space.     

Riemann�CHilbert for tame complex parahoric connections

A local Riemann–Hilbert correspondence for tame meromorphic connections on a curve compatible with a parahoric level structure will be established. Special cases include logarithmic connections on G-bundles and on parabolic G-bundles. The corresponding Betti data involves pairs (M, P) consisting of the local monodromy M ∈ G and a (weighted) parabolic subgroup P ⊂ G such that M ∈ P, as in the multiplicative Brieskorn–Grothendieck–Springer resolution (extended to the parabolic case). The natural quasi-Hamiltonian structures that arise on such spaces of enriched monodromy data will also be constructed.     

Least-squares solutions of multi-valued linear operator equations in Hilbert spaces

Let M be a linear manifold in H₁ H₂, where H₁, and H₂ are Hilbert spaces. Two notions of least-squares solutions for the multi-valued linear operator equation (inclusion) y ε M(x) are introduced and investigated. The main results include (i) equivalent conditions for least-squares solvability, (ii) properties of a least-squares solution, (iii) characterizations of the set of all least-squares solutions in terms of algebraic operator parts and generalized inverses of linear manifolds, and (iv) best approximation properties of generalized inverses and operator parts of multi-valued linear operators. The principal tools in this investigation are an abstract adjoint theory, orthogonal operator parts, and orthogonal generalized inverses of linear manifolds in Hilbert spaces.     

Best Interpolatory Approximation in Normed Linear Spaces

A theory of best approximation with interpolatory contraints from a finite-dimensional subspaceMof a normed linear spaceXis developed. In particular, to eachxX, best approximations are sought from a subsetM(x) ofMwhichdependson the elementxbeing approximated. It is shown that this “parametric approximation” problem can be essentially reduced to the “usual” one involving a certainfixedsubspaceM₀ofM. More detailed results can be obtained when (1) Xis a Hilbert space, or (2) Mis an “interpolating subspace” ofX(in the sense of [1]).     

P-convessità e convergenza di geodetiche

Summary We consider a sequence of energy functionals for regular paths with fixed extremes and whose range is contained in a corresponding sequence(M _h)_h∈Z+ of subsets of an Hilbert space. Assuming on eachM _h a condition similar top-convexity [C], we prove that if(M _h)_h∈Z+ is convergent in the sense of Kuratowsky toM the corresponding sequence(f _h)_h∈Z+of energy functionals is Γ-convergent to the functionalf relative toM and critical points off _h,i.e. the geodesics, are convergent to those off.      

Hilbertian Versus Hilbert W*-Modules and Applications to L2- and other invariants

Hilbert(ian) A-modules over finite von Neumann algebras with a faithful normal trace state (from global analysis) and Hilbert W*-modules over A (from operator algebra theory) are compared and a categorical equivalence is established. The correspondence between these two structures sheds new light on basic results in L ²-invariant theory providing alternative proofs. We indicate new invariants for finitely generated projective B-modules, where B is a unital C*-algebra (usually the full group C*-algebra C*() of the fundamental group =₁(M) of a manifold M).     

On the Cowen-Douglas Class for Banach Space Operators

In [3], M. J. Cowen and R. G. Douglas prove that the adjoint of a Hilbert space operator T is in the class if and only if T is unitarily equivalent with the operator M _z on a Hilbert space -valued analytic functions, where M _z denotes the operator of multiplication by the independent variable. The proof involves holomorphic vector bundles and Grauert’s theorem. In this paper we use a theorem by I. Gohberg and L. Rodman [4] to give a more elementary proof of this fact, which also works for Banach space operators.
