On the F. and M. Riesz theorem on wedges with edges of class <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Superscript>1,α</Superscript>

This work extends the classical F. and M. Riesz theorem to measures that are boundary values of holomorphic functions defined on wedges in with edges that are in the class C ^1,α.This work was supported in part by NSF INT-0203005, CNPq and FAPESP     

Moduli spaces of quadratic complexes and their singular surfaces

We construct the coarse moduli space of quadratic line complexes with a fixed Segre symbol σ as well as the moduli space of the corresponding singular surfaces. We show that the map associating to a quadratic line complex its singular surface induces a morphism . Finally we deduce that the varieties of cosingular quadratic line complexes are almost always curves.      

The braid groups of the projective plane and the Fadell–Neuwirth short exact sequence

We study the pure braid groups of the real projective plane , and in particular the possible splitting of the Fadell–Neuwirth short exact sequence , where n ≥ 2 and m ≥ 1, and p _* is the homomorphism which corresponds geometrically to forgetting the last m strings. This problem is equivalent to that of the existence of a section for the associated fibration of configuration spaces. Van Buskirk proved (1966, Trans. Am. Math. Soc., 122:81–97) that p and p _* admit a section if n = 2 and m = 1. Our main result in this paper is to prove that there is no section if n ≥ 3. As a corollary, it follows that n = 2 and m = 1 are the only values for which a section exists. As part of the proof, we derive a presentation of : this appears to be the first time that such a presentation has been given in the literature.      

Sampling numbers and function spaces

We want to recover a continuous function using only its function values. Let us assume, that f is from the unit ball of some function space (for example a fractional Sobolev space or a Besov space) and the precision of the reconstruction is measured in the norm of another function space of this type. We describe the rate of convergence of the optimal sampling method (linear as well as nonlinear) in this setting.     

A generalization of the prolate spheroidal wave functions

Many systems of orthogonal polynomials and functions are bases of a variety of function spaces, such as the Hermite and Laguerre functions which are orthogonal bases of and and the Jacobi polynomials which are an orthogonal basis of a weighted The associated Legendre functions, and more generally, the spheroidal wave functions are also an orthogonal basis of

The prolate spheroidal wave functions, which are a special case of the spheroidal wave functions, possess a very surprising and unique property. They are an orthogonal basis of both and a subspace of known as the Paley-Wiener space of bandlimited functions. They also satisfy a discrete orthogonality relation. No other system of classical orthogonal functions is known to possess this strange property. This raises the question of whether there are other systems possessing this property.

The aim of the article is to answer this question in the affirmative by providing an algorithm to generate such systems and then demonstrating the algorithm by a new example.

     

A ``deformation estimate" for the Toeplitz operators on harmonic Bergman spaces

Let denote the open unit ball in for and the Lebesgue volume measure on . For , the (weighted) harmonic Bergman space is the space of all harmonic functions which are in . For , the Toeplitz operator is defined on by , where is the orthogonal projection of onto . In this note, we prove that for radial, .

The limiting case of the Marcinkiewicz integral: growth for convex sets

The Marcinkiewicz integral

plays a well-known and prominent role in harmonic analysis. In this paper, we estimate the growth of it in the limiting case . Throughout, we assume that is convex; it is interesting that this condition cannot be dropped.

     

On proportional constants of the mean value of class numbers of quadratic extensions

In this article, we give a refinement of the mean value theorem for the class number of quadratic extensions obtained by Goldfeld-Hoffstein and Datskovsky. More specifically, we determine the proportional constants of the mean value for fields that satisfy any local conditions including wild ramification at places dividing .

     

Extensions of orthosymmetric lattice bimorphisms revisited

This note furnishes an example illustrating the following two facts. On the one hand, there exist Archimedean Riesz spaces and with Dedekind-complete and an orthosymmetric lattice bimorphism with lattice bimorphism extension which is not orthosymmetric, where denotes the Dedekind-completion of . On the other hand, there is an associative -multiplication in the same Archimedean Riesz space which extends to a -multiplication in which is not associative. The existence of such an example provides counterexamples to assertions in Toumi, 2005.
