Dichotomy laws for the behaviour near the unit element of group representations

A well known “zero-two law" shows that if is a strongly continuous one-parameter group of bounded operators on a Banach space X, and if then Here we discuss analogous problems for general unital representations θ of a topological group G on a unital Banach algebra A. Let 1 be the unit of G, and I the unit element of A. We show that either or if, moreover, θ admits “continuous division by any positive integer”, then, either or Our argument also gives automatic continuity results for representations of abelian Baire groups on a separable Banach algebra and representations of compact non abelian groups on a Banach algebra which are locally bounded and satisfy Received: 8 June 2005; revised: 13 October 2005     

Stability problem of Hyers-Ulam-Rassias for generalized forms of cubic functional equation

Complete moment and integral convergence for sums of negatively associated random variables

For a sequence of identically distributed negatively associated random variables {Xn; n ≥ 1} with partial sums Sn = ∑i=1^n Xi, n ≥ 1, refinements are presented of the classical Baum-Katz and Lai complete convergence theorems. More specifically, necessary and sufficient moment conditions are provided for complete moment convergence of the form ∑n≥n0 n^r-2-1/pq anE（max1≤k≤n｜Sk｜^1/q-∈bn^1/qp）^＋〈∞to hold where r 〉 1, q 〉 0 and either n0 = 1,0 〈 p 〈 2, an = 1,bn = n or n0 = 3,p = 2, an = 1 （log n） ^1/2q, bn=n log n. These results extend results of Chow and of Li and Spataru from the indepen- dent and identically distributed case to the identically distributed negatively associated setting. The complete moment convergence is also shown to be equivalent to a form of complete integral convergence.     

Approximately Linear Mappings in Banach Modules over a C^＊-algebra

Let X and Y be vector spaces. The authors show that a mapping f ： X →Y satisfies the functional equation 2d f（∑^2d j=1（-1）^j＋1xj/2d）=∑^2dj=1（-1）^j＋1f（xj） with f（0） = 0 if and only if the mapping f ： X→ Y is Cauchy additive, and prove the stability of the functional equation （≠） in Banach modules over a unital C^＊-algebra, and in Poisson Banach modules over a unital Poisson C＊-algebra. Let A and B be unital C^＊-algebras, Poisson C^＊-algebras or Poisson JC^＊- algebras. As an application, the authors show that every almost homomorphism h ： A →B of A into is a homomorphism when h（（2d-1）^nuy） =- h（（2d-1）^nu）h（y） or h（（2d-1）^nuoy） = h（（2d-1）^nu）oh（y） for all unitaries u ∈A, all y ∈ A, n = 0, 1, 2,.... Moreover, the authors prove the stability of homomorphisms in C^＊-algebras, Poisson C^＊-algebras or Poisson JC^＊-algebras.

Let Un be the unit polydisc of Cn and φ= (φ1,...,φn? a holomorphic self-map of Un. Let 0≤α< 1. This paper shows that the composition operator Cφ, is bounded on the Lipschitz space Lipa(Un) if and only if there exists M > 0 such thatfor z∈Un. Moreover Cφ is compact on Lipa(Un) if and only if Cφ is bounded on Lipa(Un) and for every ε > 0, there exists a δ > 0 such that whenever dist(φ(z),σUn) <δ     

A limit theorem for the moments of sums of independent random variables

Forn≧1, letS _n=ΣX _n,i (1≦i≦r _n <∞), where the summands ofS _n are independent random variables having medians bounded in absolute value by a finite number which is independent ofn. Letf be a nonnegative function on (− ∞, ∞) which vanishes and is continuous at the origin, and which satisfies, for some for allt≧1 and all values ofx. Theorem.For centering constants c _n,let S _n − c _n converge in distribution to a random variable S. (A)In order that Ef(S_n − c_n) converge to a limit L, it is necessary and sufficient that there exist a common limit (B)If L exists, then L<∞ if and only if R<∞, and when L is finite, L=Ef(S)+R. Applications are given to infinite series of independent random variables, and to normed sums of independent, identically distributed random variables.

On the zeros of a class of generalised Dirichlet series-XIV

We prove a general theorem on the zeros of a class of generalised Dirichlet series. We quote the following results as samples. Theorem A.Let 0<θ<1/2and let {a _n }be a sequence of complex numbers satisfying the inequality for N = 1,2,3,…,also for n = 1,2,3,…let α _n be real and |α_n| ≤ C(θ)where C(θ) > 0is a certain (small)constant depending only on θ. Then the number of zeros of the function in the rectangle (1/2-δ⩽σ⩽1/2+δ,T⩽t⩽2T) (where 0<δ<1/2)is ≥C(θ,δ)T logT where C(θ,δ)is a positive constant independent of T provided T ≥T ₀(θ,δ)a large positive constant. Theorem B.In the above theorem we can relax the condition on a _n to and |a_N| ≤ (1/2-θ)^-1.Then the lower bound for the number of zeros in (σ⩾1/3−δ,T⩽t⩽2T)is > C(θ,δ) Tlog T(log logT)^-1.The upper bound for the number of zeros in σ⩾1/3+δ,T⩽t⩽2T) isO(T)provided for every ε > 0.

We also show that the widest a n is o( n(1/2)/logn).     

A band limited and Besov class functional calculus for Tadmor-Ritt operators

For Banach space operators T satisfying the Tadmor-Ritt condition a band limited H^∞ calculus is established, where and a is at most of the order C(T)⁵. It follows that such a T allows a bounded Besov algebra B_{∞ 1}⁰ functional calculus, These estimates are sharp in a convenient sense. Relevant embedding theorems for B_{∞ 1}⁰ are derived.

Reverse inequalities

There are reverse inequalities for square functions of differences arising in ergodic theory and differentiation of functions. For example, it is shown that if A_n is the usual average in ergodic theory, and (n_k∶k=1,2,3,...) is an increasing lacunary sequence with no non-trivial common divisor, then one has for any p, 1<p<∞, there is a constant C_p such that for all f∃ L_p(X),

Square function inequalities for non-commutative martingales

We prove a non-commutative version of the weak-type (1,1) boundedness of square functions of martingales. More precisely, we prove that there is an absolute constantK with the following property: ifM is a semifinite von Neumann algebra with a faithful normal traceτ and (M _n ) _n=1 ^∞ is an increasing filtration of von Neumann subalgebras of (M then for any martingalex= _n=1 ^∞ inL ¹(M,τ), adapted to (M _n ) _n=1 ^∞ , there is a decomposition into two sequences (x _n ) _n=1 ^∞ and (z _n ) _n=1 ^∞ withx _n=y _n+z _nfor everyn≥1 and such that . This generalizes a result of Burkholder from classical martingale theory to non-commutative martingales. We also include some applications to martingale Hardy spaces.
