Simple Constructions of Almost k-wise Independent Random Variables

We present three alternative simple constructions of small probability spaces on n bits for which any k bits are almost independent. The number of bits used to specify a point in the sample space is (2 + o(1)) (log log n + k/2 + log k + log 1/?), where ? is the statistical difference between the distribution induced on any k bit locations and the uniform distribution. This is asymptotically comparable to the construction recently presented by Naor and Naor (our size bound is better as long as ? < 1/(k log n)). An additional advantage of our constructions is their simplicity.     

Equivalent quasi-norms on Lorentz spaces

We give new characterizations of Lorentz spaces by means of certain quasi-norms which are shown to be equivalent to the classical ones.

We show that on the harmonic Bergman spaces, the Hankel operators with nonconstant harmonic symbol cannot be of finite rank.

     

Hardy spaces of spaces of homogeneous type

Let be a space of homogeneous type, and be the generator of a semigroup with Gaussian kernel bounds on . We define the Hardy spaces of for a range of , by means of area integral function associated with the Poisson semigroup of , which is proved to coincide with the usual atomic Hardy spaces on spaces of homogeneous type.

     

Condensations of projective sets onto compacta

For a coanalytic-complete or -complete subspace of a Polish space we prove that there exists a continuous bijection of onto the Hilbert cube . This extends results of Pytkeev. As an application of our main theorem we give an answer to some questions of Arkhangelskii and Christensen.

Under the assumption of Projective Determinacy we also give some generalizations of these results to higher projective classes.

     

Besov-Morrey spaces: Function space theory and applications to non-linear PDE

This paper is devoted to the analysis of function spaces modeled on Besov spaces and their applications to non-linear partial differential equations, with emphasis on the incompressible, isotropic Navier-Stokes system and semi-linear heat equations. Specifically, we consider the class, introduced by Hideo Kozono and Masao Yamazaki, of Besov spaces based on Morrey spaces, which we call Besov-Morrey or BM spaces. We obtain equivalent representations in terms of the Weierstrass semigroup and wavelets, and various embeddings in classical spaces. We then establish pseudo-differential and para-differential estimates. Our results cover non-regular and exotic symbols. Although the heat semigroup is not strongly continuous on Morrey spaces, we show that its action defines an equivalent norm. In particular, homogeneous BM spaces belong to a larger class constructed by Grzegorz Karch to analyze scaling in parabolic equations. We compare Karch's results with those of Kozono and Yamazaki and generalize them by obtaining short-time existence and uniqueness of solutions for arbitrary data with subcritical regularity. We exploit pseudo-differential calculus to extend the analysis to compact, smooth, boundaryless, Riemannian manifolds. BM spaces are defined by means of partitions of unity and coordinate patches, and intrinsically in terms of functions of the Laplace operator.

A version of Burkholder's theorem for operator-weighted spaces

Let be an operator weight, i.e. a weight function taking values in the bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space . We prove that if the dyadic martingale transforms are uniformly bounded on for each dyadic grid in , then the Hilbert transform is bounded on as well, thus providing an analogue of Burkholder's theorem for operator-weighted -spaces. We also give a short new proof of Burkholder's theorem itself. Our proof is based on the decomposition of the Hilbert transform into ``dyadic shifts'.

     

On non-measurability of in its second dual

We show that with the weak topology is not an intersection of Borel sets in its Cech-Stone extension (and hence in any compactification). Assuming (CH), this implies that has no continuous injection onto a Borel set in a compact space, or onto a Lindelöf space. Under (CH), this answers a question of Arhangel'ski.
