Corrigendum to “On norms of composition operators acting on Bergman spaces” [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 291 (2004) 189-202]

A theorem and a corollary in the paper cited in the title were stated incorrectly, as was pointed out by Christopher Hammond. We now state correctly and prove both of them. These results still generalize and explain the geometric meaning of the Cowen-Hurst norm formula. We also include additional references and provide an example relevant for further study.     

Higher-order polynomial invariants of 3-manifolds giving lower bounds for the Thurston norm

We define an infinite sequence of new invariants, δ_n, of a group G that measure the size of the successive quotients of the derived series of G. In the case that G is the fundamental group of a 3-manifold, we obtain new 3-manifold invariants. These invariants are closely related to the topology of the 3-manifold. They give lower bounds for the Thurston norm which provide better estimates than the bound established by McMullen using the Alexander norm. We also show that the δ_n give obstructions to a 3-manifold fibering over S¹ and to a 3-manifold being Seifert fibered. Moreover, we show that the δ_n give computable algebraic obstructions to a 4-manifold of the form X×S¹ admitting a symplectic structure even when the obstructions given by the Seiberg-Witten invariants fail. There are also applications to the minimal ropelength and genera of knots and links in S³.

A variational characterisation of spherical designs

In this paper we first establish a new variational characterisation of spherical designs: it is shown that a set , where , is a spherical L-design if and only if a certain non-negative quantity A_L,N(X_N) vanishes. By combining this result with a known “sampling theorem” for the sphere, we obtain the main result, which is that if is a stationary point set of A_L,N whose “mesh norm” satisfies h_XN<1/(L+1), then X_N is a spherical L-design. The latter result seems to open a pathway to the elusive problem of proving (for fixed d) the existence of a spherical L-design with a number of points N of order (L+1)^d. A numerical example with d=2 and L=19 suggests that computational minimisation of A_L,N can be a valuable tool for the discovery of new spherical designs for moderate and large values of L.     

Boundedness and compactness of an integral operator between <Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis><Superscript>∞</Superscript> and a mixed norm space on the polydisk

This addendum to [1] completely characterizes the boundedness and compactness of a recently introduced integral type operator from the space of bounded holomorphic functions H ^∞(\(\mathbb{D}^n \)) on the unit polydisk \(\mathbb{D}^n \) to the mixed norm space

Non-self-adjoint sturm-liouville operators with matrix potentials

We obtain asymptotic formulas for non-self-adjoint operators generated by the Sturm-Liouville system and quasiperiodic boundary conditions. Using these asymptotic formulas, we obtain conditions on the potential for which the system of root vectors of the operator under consideration forms a Riesz basis.     

Least-square Solutions of Inverse Problems for Anti-symmetric and Skew-symmetric Matrices

The least-square solutions of inverse problem for anti-symmetric and skew-symmetric matrices are studied. In addition, the problem of using anti-symmetric and skew-symmetric matrices to construct the optimal approximation to a given matrix is discussed, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the problem are derived, and the expression of the solution is provided. A numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

A New and Self-Contained Proof of Borwein’s Norm Duality Theorem

Borwein’s norm duality theorem establishes the equality between the outer (inner) norm of a sublinear mapping and the inner (outer) norm of its adjoint mappings. In this note we provide an extended version of this theorem with a new and self-contained proof relying only on the Hahn-Banach theorem. We also give examples showing that the assumptions of the theorem cannot be relaxed. This author is supported by Grant BES-2003-0188 from FPI Program of MEC (Spain).     

A continuation and existence result for a boundary value problem on an unbounded domain arising for the electrical potential in a cylindrical double layer

Using a continuation theorem for contractions, the existence, uniqueness, and an approximation method for a class of nonlinear boundary value problems on an unbounded interval is obtained. The results apply in particular to the problem in the title.     

On Local Coefficients for Non-generic Representations of Some Classical Groups

This paper is concerned with representations of split orthogonal and quasi-split unitary groups over a nonarchimedean local field which are not generic, but which support a unique model of a different kind, the generalized Bessel model. The properties of the Bessel models under induction are studied, and an analogue of Rodier's theorem concerning the induction of Whittaker models is proved for Bessel models which are minimal in a suitable sense. The holomorphicity in the induction parameter of the Bessel functional is established. Local coefficients are defined for each irreducible supercuspidal representation which carries a Bessel functional and also for a certain component of each representation parabolically induced from such a supercuspidal. The local coefficients are related to the Plancherel measures, and their zeroes are shown to be among the poles of the standard intertwining operators.
