Commutators for the maximal and sharp functions

The class of functions for which the commutator with the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function or the maximal sharp function are bounded on are characterized and proved to be the same.

We establish the estimate

Commutators of weighted lipschitz functions and multilinear singular integrals with non-smooth kernels

This paper is devoted to studying the commutators of the multilinear singular integral operators with the non-smooth kernels and the weighted Lipschitz functions. Some mapping properties for two types of commutators on the weighted Lebesgue spaces, which extend and generalize some previous results, are obtained.     

Factorization of a class of symbols with outer functions

In this paper the Wiener–Hopf (or Riemann–Hilbert) factorization of a class of symbols important in applications is studied. The symbols in this class involve outer functions that appear in applications such as diffraction by strip gratings and infinite-dimensional integrable systems. The method proposed is based on the reduction of a vector Riemann–Hilbert to a scalar problem on an appropriate Riemann surface. Two examples are given leading to the Riemann sphere and to an elliptic curve.     

Commutators and compressions

We present a short proof of the known theorem that every operator, not of the formλI + compact, whereλ ≢ 0, is a commutator. The second author gratefully acknowledges the support of the National Science Foundation.     

Generating functions of even Dedekind symbols with polynomial reciprocity laws

We will obtain generating functions of even Dedekind symbols with polynomial reciprocity laws. The generating functions are expressed in terms of Kronecker’s double series. We also establish reciprocity laws satisfied by these generating functions. As an application, we demonstrate new Eisenstein series identities which involve the derivatives of the first and second order.     

On convergence determining and separating classes of functions

Herein, we generalize and extend some standard results on the separation and convergence of probability measures. We use homeomorphism-based methods and work on incomplete metric spaces, Skorokhod spaces, Lusin spaces or general topological spaces. Our contributions are twofold: we dramatically simplify the proofs of several basic results in weak convergence theory and, concurrently, extend these results to apply more immediately in a number of settings, including on Lusin spaces.     

Commutators and accretive operators

In this paper, singular values of commutators of Hilbert space operators are estimated. To this aim the accretivity of a transform of the operators is applied. Some recent results of Kittaneh [F. Kittaneh, Singular value inequalities for commutators of Hilbert space operators, Linear Algebra Appl. 430 (2009) 2362-2367] are extended.     

Vertical symbols,Toeplitz operators on weighted Bergman spaces over the upper half-plane and very slowly oscillating functions

Extending a recent result of Herrera Yañez, Maximenko and Vasilevski, we provide a further step in the structural analysis of algebras generated by Toeplitz operators on weighted Bergman spaces over the upper half-plane. We show that the set of “spectral” functions corresponding to Toeplitz operators generated by bounded vertical symbols is dense in the C^?$C^{?}$-algebra of very slowly oscillating functions on the positive half-line.     

Commutators on Half-Spaces

We study the boundedness and compactness of commutators on , where and are defined by and respectively. If satisfies some upper and lower estimates, then we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for to be bounded or compact on for . The reproducing kernel of the harmonic Bergman space of can be shown to satisfy all the required estimates. Our result is the real variable analogue of the complex variable one for commutators associated with an analytic reproducing kernel.     

Operator method for calculating Q symbols and their relation to weyl-wigner symbols and symplectic tomogram symbols

We propose a new method for calculating Husimi symbols of operators. In contrast to the standard method, it does not require using the anti-normal-ordering procedure. According to this method, the coordinate and momentum operators \(\hat q\) and \(\hat p\) are assigned other operators \(\hat X\) and \(\hat P\) satisfying the same commutation relations. We then find the result of acting with the \(\hat X\) and \(\hat P\) operators and also polynomials in these operators on the Husimi function. After the obtained expression is integrated over the phase space coordinates, the integrand becomes a Husimi function times the symbol of the operator chosen to act on that function. We explicitly evaluate the Husimi symbols for operators that are powers of \(\hat X\) or \(\hat P\) .     

Commutators, Spectral Trace Identities, and Universal Estimates for Eigenvalues

Using simple commutator relations, we obtain several trace identities involving eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of an abstract self-adjoint operator acting in a Hilbert space. Applications involve abstract universal estimates for the eigenvalue gaps. As particular examples, we present simple proofs of the classical universal estimates for eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian, as well as of some known and new results for other differential operators and systems. We also suggest an extension of the methods to the case of non-self-adjoint operators.     

Commutators of contactomorphisms

The group of volume preserving diffeomorphisms, the group of symplectomorphisms and the group of contactomorphisms constitute the classical groups of diffeomorphisms. The first homology groups of the compactly supported identity components of the first two groups have been computed by Thurston and Banyaga, respectively. In this paper we solve the long standing problem on the algebraic structure of the third classical diffeomorphism group, i.e. the contactomorphism group. Namely we show that the compactly supported identity component of the group of contactomorphisms is perfect and simple (if the underlying manifold is connected). The result could be applied in various ways.
