Counting Ω-ideals

Let ${\mathbb{A}}Let \mathbbA{\mathbb{A}} be a universal algebra of signature Ω, and let I{\mathcal{I}} be an ideal in the Boolean algebra P_\mathbbA{\mathcal{P}_{\mathbb{A}}} of all subsets of \mathbbA{\mathbb{A}} . We say that I{\mathcal{I}} is an Ω-ideal if I{\mathcal{I}} contains all finite subsets of \mathbbA{\mathbb{A}} and f(Aⁿ) ? I{f(A^{n}) \in \mathcal{I}} for every n-ary operation f ? W{f \in \Omega} and every A ? I{A \in \mathcal{I}} . We prove that there are 2^2à₀{2^{2^{\aleph_0}}} Ω-ideals in P_\mathbbA{\mathcal{P}_{\mathbb{A}}} provided that \mathbbA{\mathbb{A}} is countably infinite and Ω is countable.     

Projective Freeness of Algebras of Real Symmetric Functions

Let \mathbb Dⁿ:={z=(z₁,?, z_n) ? \mathbb Cⁿ:|z_j| < 1,   j=1,?, n}{\mathbb {D}^n:=\{z=(z_1,\ldots, z_n)\in \mathbb {C}^n:|z_j| < 1, \;j=1,\ldots, n\}}, and let [`(\mathbbD)]ⁿ{\overline{\mathbb{D}}^n} denote its closure in \mathbb Cⁿ{\mathbb {C}^n}. Consider the ring

Let j{\varphi} be an analytic self-map of the unit disk \mathbbD{\mathbb{D}}, H(\mathbbD){H(\mathbb{D})} the space of analytic functions on \mathbbD{\mathbb{D}} and g ? H(\mathbbD){g \in H(\mathbb{D})}. The boundedness and compactness of the operator DC_j : H^￥ ? Z{DC_\varphi : H^\infty \rightarrow { \mathcal Z}} are investigated in this paper.     

Relative universality and universality obtained by adding constants

A variety ${\mathbb{V}}${\mathbb{V}} is var-relatively universal if it contains a subvariety \mathbbW{\mathbb{W}} such that the class of all homomorphisms that do not factorize through any algebra in \mathbbW{\mathbb{W}} is algebraically universal. And \mathbbV{\mathbb{V}} has an algebraically universal α-expansion a\mathbbV{\alpha\mathbb{V}} if adding α nullary operations to all algebras in \mathbbV{\mathbb{V}} gives rise to a class a\mathbbV{\alpha\mathbb{V}} of algebras that is algebraically universal. The first two authors have conjectured that any varrelative universal variety \mathbbV{\mathbb{V}} has an algebraically universal α-expansion a\mathbbV{\alpha\mathbb{V}} . This note contains a more general result that proves this conjecture.     

A trade-off between collision probability and key size in universal hashing using polynomials

Let \mathbbF{\mathbb{F}} be a finite field and suppose that a single element of \mathbbF{\mathbb{F}} is used as an authenticator (or tag). Further, suppose that any message consists of at most L elements of \mathbbF{\mathbb{F}}. For this setting, usual polynomial based universal hashing achieves a collision bound of (L-1)/|\mathbbF|{(L-1)/|\mathbb{F}|} using a single element of \mathbbF{\mathbb{F}} as the key. The well-known multi-linear hashing achieves a collision bound of 1/|\mathbbF|{1/|\mathbb{F}|} using L elements of \mathbbF{\mathbb{F}} as the key. In this work, we present a new universal hash function which achieves a collision bound of mélog_m Lù/|\mathbbF|, m 3 2{m\lceil\log_m L\rceil/|\mathbb{F}|, m\geq 2}, using 1+élog_m Lù{1+\lceil\log_m L\rceil} elements of \mathbbF{\mathbb{F}} as the key. This provides a new trade-off between key size and collision probability for universal hash functions.     

Criteria for monogenicity of Clifford algebra-valued functions on fractal domains

Suppose that Ω is a bounded domain with fractal boundary Γ in ${\mathbb R^{n+1}}Suppose that Ω is a bounded domain with fractal boundary Γ in \mathbb Rⁿ⁺¹{\mathbb R^{n+1}} and let \mathbb R_0,n{\mathbb R_{0,n}} be the real Clifford algebra constructed over the quadratic space \mathbb Rⁿ{\mathbb R^{n}}. Furthermore, let U be a \mathbb R_0,n{\mathbb R_{0,n}}-valued function harmonic in Ω and H?lder-continuous up to Γ. By using a new Clifford Cauchy transform for Jordan domains in \mathbb Rⁿ⁺¹{\mathbb R^{n+1}} with fractal boundaries, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the monogenicity of U in terms of its boundary value u = U|_Γ. As a consequence, the results of Abreu Blaya et al. (Proceedings of the 6th International ISAAC Congress Ankara, 167–174, World Scientific) are extended, which require Γ to be Ahlfors-David regular.     

Generalized Absolute Values and Polar Decompositions of a Bounded Operator

Generalized absolute values as well as corresponding to them generalized polar decompositions of a bounded linear operator T of a Hilbert space H{\mathcal{H}} into a Hilbert space K{\mathcal{K}} are defined, motivated by the inequality |áTx, y?_K|² ￡ á|T|x, x?_Há|T^*|y, y?_K{|\langle{Tx}, {y}\rangle}_{\mathcal{K}}|^2 \leq \langle|T|x, {x}\rangle_{\mathcal{H}}\langle{|T^{*}|y}, {y}\rangle_{\mathcal{K}} . It is shown that there is a natural bijection between generalized absolute values of T and of T* which sends |T| to |T*|. For a bounded nonnegative operator A on H{\mathcal{H}} and a bounded Borel function f: \mathbbR₊ ? \mathbbR₊{f: \mathbb{R}_+ \to \mathbb{R}_+} , equivalent conditions for A and f(|T|) to be generalized absolute values of T are established and corresponding to them generalized absolute values of T* are determined.     

Gaussian mean curvature flow

In the Euclidean Space \mathbb Rⁿ⁺¹{\mathbb {R}^{n+1}} with a density e^{e\frac12 n m2 |x|2}, (e = ±1){e^{\varepsilon \frac12 n \mu^2 |x|^2},} {(\varepsilon =\pm1}), we consider the flow of a hypersurface driven by its mean curvature associated to this density. We give a detailed account of the evolution of a convex hypersurface under this flow. In particular, when e = -1{ \varepsilon=-1} (Gaussian density), the hypersurface can expand to infinity or contract to a convex hypersurface (not necessarily a sphere) depending on the relation between the bound of its principal curvatures and μ.     

An Inverse Theorem for the Uniformity Seminorms Associated with the Action of {{\mathbb {F}^{\infty}_{p}}}

Let ${\mathbb {F}}Let \mathbb F{\mathbb {F}} a finite field. We show that the universal characteristic factor for the Gowers–Host–Kra uniformity seminorm U ^k (X) for an ergodic action (T_g)_{g ? \mathbb F^w}{(T_{g})_{{g} \in \mathbb {F}^{\omega}}} of the infinite abelian group \mathbb F^w{\mathbb {F}^{\omega}} on a probability space X = (X, B, m){X = (X, \mathcal {B}, \mu)} is generated by phase polynomials f: X ? S¹{\phi : X \to S^{1}} of degree less than C(k) on X, where C(k) depends only on k. In the case where k ￡ char(\mathbb F){k \leq {\rm char}(\mathbb {F})} we obtain the sharp result C(k) = k. This is a finite field counterpart of an analogous result for \mathbb Z{\mathbb {Z}} by Host and Kra [HK]. In a companion paper [TZ] to this paper, we shall combine this result with a correspondence principle to establish the inverse theorem for the Gowers norm in finite fields in the high characteristic case k ￡ char(\mathbb F){k \leq {\rm char}(\mathbb {F})} , with a partial result in low characteristic.     

Blow up of subcritical quantities at the first singular time of the mean curvature flow

Consider a family of smooth immersions F(·,t) : Mⁿ? \mathbbRⁿ⁺¹{F(\cdot,t)\,:\,{M^n\to \mathbb{R}^{n+1}}} of closed hypersurfaces in \mathbbRⁿ⁺¹{\mathbb{R}^{n+1}} moving by the mean curvature flow \frac?F(p,t)?t = -H(p,t)·n(p,t){\frac{\partial F(p,t)}{\partial t} = -H(p,t)\cdot \nu(p,t)}, for t ? [0,T){t\in [0,T)}. We show that at the first singular time of the mean curvature flow, certain subcritical quantities concerning the second fundamental form, for example ò₀^tò_Ms\frac|A|^{n + 2} log (2 + |A|) dmds,{\int_{0}^{t}\int_{M_{s}}\frac{{\vert{\it A}\vert}^{n + 2}}{ log (2 + {\vert{\it A}\vert})}} d\mu ds, blow up. Our result is a log improvement of recent results of Le-Sesum, Xu-Ye-Zhao where the scaling invariant quantities were considered.     

Irreducible holonomy algebras of Riemannian supermanifolds

Possible irreducible holonomy algebras \mathfrakg ì \mathfrakosp(p, q|2m){\mathfrak{g}\subset\mathfrak{osp}(p, q|2m)} of Riemannian supermanifolds under the assumption that \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}} is a direct sum of simple Lie superalgebras of classical type and possibly of a 1-dimensional center are classified. This generalizes the classical result of Marcel Berger about the classification of irreducible holonomy algebras of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds.     

Some estimates of Schrödinger type operators on the Heisenberg group

In this paper, we consider the Schrödinger type operator ${H = (-\Delta _{\mathbb {H}}^n)^2 +V ^{2}}In this paper, we consider the Schr?dinger type operator H = (-D_{\mathbb H}ⁿ)² +V ²{H = (-\Delta _{\mathbb {H}}^n)^2 +V ^{2}}, where the nonnegative potential V belongs to the reverse H?lder class B_q1 for q₁ 3 \frac Q 2,Q 3 6{B_{{q}_{1}}\, {\rm for}\, q_{1}\geq {\frac {Q}{ 2}},Q \geq 6}, and D_{\mathbb Hⁿ}{\Delta_{\mathbb {H}^n}} is the sublaplacian on the Heisenberg group \mathbb Hⁿ{\mathbb {H}^n}. An L ^p estimate and a weak type L ¹ estimate for the operator ?⁴_{\mathbb Hⁿ} H^-1{\nabla^4_{\mathbb {H}^n} H^{-1}} when V ? B_q1{V \in B_{{q}_{1}}} for 1 < p ￡ \fracq₁2{1 < p \leq \frac{q_{1}}{2}} are obtained.     

Hardy spaces associated to the Schrödinger operator on strongly Lipschitz domains of {\mathbb{R}^d}

Let L = ?Δ + V be a Schrödinger operator and Ω be a strongly Lipschitz domain of ${\mathbb R^{d}}Let L = −Δ + V be a Schr?dinger operator and Ω be a strongly Lipschitz domain of \mathbb R^d{\mathbb R^{d}} , where Δ is the Laplacian on \mathbb R^d{\mathbb R^{d}} and the potential V is a nonnegative polynomial on \mathbb R^d{\mathbb R^{d}} . In this paper, we investigate the Hardy spaces on Ω associated to the Schr?dinger operator L.     

Ergodic Subequivalence Relations Induced by a Bernoulli Action

Let Γ be a countable group and denote by S{\mathcal{S}} the equivalence relation induced by the Bernoulli action G\curvearrowright [0, 1]^G{\Gamma\curvearrowright [0, 1]^{\Gamma}}, where [0, 1]^Γ is endowed with the product Lebesgue measure. We prove that, for any subequivalence relation R{\mathcal{R}} of S{\mathcal{S}}, there exists a partition {X _i } _i≥0 of [0, 1]^Γ into R{\mathcal{R}}-invariant measurable sets such that R_|X0{\mathcal{R}_{\vert X_{0}}} is hyperfinite and R_|Xi{\mathcal{R}_{\vert X_{i}}} is strongly ergodic (hence ergodic and non-hyperfinite), for every i ≥ 1.     

Closed-Range Composition Operators on {\mathbb{A}^2} and the Bloch Space

For any analytic self-map j{\varphi} of {z : |z| <  1} we give four separate conditions, each of which is necessary and sufficient for the composition operator C_j{C_{\varphi}} to be closed-range on the Bloch space B{\mathcal{B}} . Among these conditions are some that appear in the literature, where we provide new proofs. We further show that if C_j{C_{\varphi}} is closed-range on the Bergman space \mathbbA²{\mathbb{A}^2} , then it is closed-range on B{\mathcal{B}} , but that the converse of this fails with a vengeance. Our analysis involves an extension of the Julia-Carathéodory Theorem.     

Univalent Functions, <Emphasis Type="Italic">VMOA</Emphasis> and Related Spaces

This paper is concerned mainly with the logarithmic Bloch space ℬ_log which consists of those functions f which are analytic in the unit disc \mathbbD{\mathbb{D}} and satisfy sup_{|z| < 1}(1-|z|)log\frac11-|z||f^￠(z)| < ￥\sup_{\vert z\vert <1}(1-\vert z\vert )\log\frac{1}{1-\vert z\vert}\vert f^{\prime}(z)\vert <\infty , and the analytic Besov spaces B ^p , 1≤p<∞. They are all subspaces of the space VMOA. We study the relation between these spaces, paying special attention to the membership of univalent functions in them. We give explicit examples of:

On the Second Cohomology of K?hler Groups

Carlson and Toledo conjectured that if an infinite group Γ is the fundamental group of a compact K?hler manifold, then virtually H²(G, \mathbb R) 1 0{H^{2}(\Gamma, {\mathbb R}) \ne 0} . We assume that Γ admits an unbounded reductive rigid linear representation. This representation necessarily comes from a complex variation of Hodge structure ( \mathbbC{\mathbb{C}} -VHS) on the K?hler manifold. We prove the conjecture under some assumption on the \mathbbC{\mathbb{C}} -VHS. We also study some related geometric/topological properties of period domains associated to such a \mathbbC{\mathbb{C}} -VHS.     

Stability of a conditional Cauchy equation

Let \mathbb R{\mathbb R} be the set of real numbers, f : \mathbb R ? \mathbb R{f : \mathbb {R} \to \mathbb {R}},  e 3 0{\epsilon \ge 0} and d > 0. We denote by {(x ₁, y ₁), (x ₂, y ₂), (x ₃, y ₃), . . .} a countable dense subset of \mathbb R²{\mathbb {R}^2} and let

Solutions to Polynomial Generalized Bers–Vekua Equations in Clifford Analysis

In this paper, we mainly study polynomial generalized Vekua-type equation _boxclose)w=0{p(\mathcal{D})w=0} and polynomial generalized Bers–Vekua equation p(D)w=0{p(\mathcal{\underline{D}})w=0} defined in W ì \mathbbRⁿ⁺¹{\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}} where D{\mathcal{D}} and D{\mathcal{\underline{D}}} mean generalized Vekua-type operator and generalized Bers–Vekua operator, respectively. Using Clifford algebra, we obtain the Fischer-type decomposition theorems for the solutions to these equations including (D-l)^kw=0,(D-l)^kw=0(k ? \mathbbN){\left(\mathcal{D}-\lambda\right)^{k}w=0,\left(\mathcal {\underline{D}}-\lambda\right)^{k}w=0\left(k\in\mathbb{N}\right)} with complex parameter λ as special cases, which derive the Almansi-type decomposition theorems for iterated generalized Bers–Vekua equation and polynomial generalized Cauchy–Riemann equation defined in W ì \mathbbRⁿ⁺¹{\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}}. Making use of the decomposition theorems we give the solutions to polynomial generalized Bers–Vekua equation defined in W ì \mathbbRⁿ⁺¹{\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}} under some conditions. Furthermore we discuss inhomogeneous polynomial generalized Bers–Vekua equation p(D)w=v{p(\mathcal{\underline{D}})w=v} defined in W ì \mathbbRⁿ⁺¹{\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}}, and develop the structure of the solutions to inhomogeneous polynomial generalized Bers–Vekua equation p(D)w=v{p(\mathcal{\underline{D}})w=v} defined in W ì \mathbbRⁿ⁺¹{\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}}.     

Lifting of convex functions on Carnot groups and lack of convexity for a gauge function

Let ${\mathbb{G}}Let \mathbbG{\mathbb{G}} be a Carnot group of step r and m generators and homogeneous dimension Q. Let \mathbbF_m,r{\mathbb{F}_{m,r}} denote the free Lie group of step r and m generators. Let also p:\mathbbF_m,r?\mathbbG{\pi:\mathbb{F}_{m,r}\to\mathbb{G}} be a lifting map. We show that any horizontally convex function u on \mathbbG{\mathbb{G}} lifts to a horizontally convex function u°p{u\circ \pi} on \mathbbF_m,r{\mathbb{F}_{m,r}} (with respect to a suitable horizontal frame on \mathbbF_m,r{\mathbb{F}_{m,r}}). One of the main aims of the paper is to exhibit an example of a sub-Laplacian L=?_j=1^m X_j²{\mathcal{L}=\sum_{j=1}^m X_j^2} on a Carnot group of step two such that the relevant L{\mathcal{L}}-gauge function d (i.e., d ^2-Q is the fundamental solution for L{\mathcal{L}}) is not h-convex with respect to the horizontal frame {X ₁, . . . , X _m }. This gives a negative answer to a question posed in Danielli et al. (Commun. Anal. Geom. 11 (2003), 263–341).
