Continuation of multiple power series in a sectorial domain

For multiple power series centered at the origin we consider the problem of its analytic continuability into a sectorial domain. The condition for continuability is formulated in terms of a holomorphic function that interpolates the series coefficients. For series in one variable this problem has been studied in the works of E. Lindelöf, N. Arakelian, and others.

Stability properties of an inverse parabolic problem with unknown boundaries

We treat the stability issue for an inverse problem arising from non-destructive evaluation by thermal imaging. We consider the determination of an unknown portion of the boundary of a thermic conducting body by overdetermined boundary data for a parabolic initial-boundary value problem. We obtain that when the unknown part of the boundary is a priori known to be smooth, the data are as regular as possible and all possible measurements are taken into account, the problem is exponentially ill-posed. Then, we prove that a single measurement with some a priori information on the unknown part of the boundary and minimal assumptions on the data, in particular on the thermal conductivity, is enough to have stable determination of the unknown boundary. Given the exponential ill-posedness, the stability estimate obtained is optimal. AMS 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 35R30, Secondary 35B60, 33C90     

The Segal-Bargmann transform for noncompact symmetric spaces of the complex type

We consider the generalized Segal-Bargmann transform, defined in terms of the heat operator, for a noncompact symmetric space of the complex type. For radial functions, we show that the Segal-Bargmann transform is a unitary map onto a certain L² space of meromorphic functions. For general functions, we give an inversion formula for the Segal-Bargmann transform, involving integration against an “unwrapped” version of the heat kernel for the dual compact symmetric space. Both results involve delicate cancellations of singularities.

On Three-Dimensional Dynamic Problems of Generalized Thermoelasticity

Lord–;Shulman's system of partial differential equations of generalized thermoelasticity [1] is considered, in which the finite velocity of heat propagation is taken into account by introducing a relaxation time constant. General aspects of the theory of boundary value and initial-boundary value problems and representation of solutions by series and quadratures are considered using the method of a potential.     

Is Lebesgue measure the only σ-finite invariant Borel measure?

S. Saks and recently R.D. Mauldin asked if every translation invariant σ-finite Borel measure on Rd is a constant multiple of Lebesgue measure. The aim of this paper is to investigate the versions of this question, since surprisingly the answer is “yes and no,” depending on what we mean by Borel measure and by constant. According to a folklore result, if the measure is only defined for Borel sets, then the answer is affirmative. We show that if the measure is defined on a σ-algebra containing the Borel sets, then the answer is negative. However, if we allow the multiplicative constant to be infinity, then the answer is affirmative in this case as well. Moreover, our construction also shows that an isometry invariant σ-finite Borel measure (in the wider sense) on Rd can be non-σ-finite when we restrict it to the Borel sets.     

Some Properties for the Euclidean Distance Matrix and Positive Semidefinite Matrix Completion Problems

The Euclidean distance matrix (EDM) completion problem and the positive semidefinite (PSD) matrix completion problem are considered in this paper. Approaches to determine the location of a point in a linear manifold are studied, which are based on a referential coordinate set and a distance vector whose components indicate the distances from the point to other points in the set. For a given referential coordinate set and a corresponding distance vector, sufficient and necessary conditions are presented for the existence of such a point that the distance vector can be realized. The location of the point (if it exists) given by the approaches in a linear manifold is independent of the coordinate system, and is only related to the referential coordinate set and the corresponding distance vector. An interesting phenomenon about the complexity of the EDM completion problem is described. Some properties about the uniqueness and the rigidity of the conformation for solutions to the EDM and PSD completion problems are presented.     

Quantum calculations in a unique rest frame

The distribution of astronomical redshifts and the cosmic background radiation define a unique inertial reference frame. This paper contains an investigation of questions concerning quantum theory which arise with the introduction of a unique rest frame into spacetime. The Mössbauer effect, photon pair production, and photoelectric effect are treated together with photon scattering by a moving reflector and the Compton effect. Dirac's 1928 quantum theory of electrons is shown to yield its well-known energy spectrum for the hydrogen atom independently of the velocity of the atom relative to the rest frame.1.
