序列覆盖的闭映射保持可度量性

设f:X→Y是连续的满映射. f称为序列覆盖映射,若{y})是Y中的收敛序列,则存在X中的收敛序列{xn},使得每一xn∈f-1(yn);f称为1序列覆盖映射,若对于每-y∈Y,存在x∈f-1(y),使得如果{yn}是Y中收敛于点y的序列,则有X中收敛于点x的序列{xn},使得每一xn∈f-1(yn).本文研究度量空间序列覆盖的闭映射之构造,否定地回答了Topology and its Applications上提出的一个问题.

Haar wavelets of higher order on fractals and regularity of functions

Wavelets of Haar type of higher order m on self-similar fractals were introduced by the author in J. Fourier Anal. Appl. 4 (1998) 329-340. These are piecewise polynomials of degree m instead of piecewise constants. It was shown that for certain totally disconnected fractals, spaces of functions defined on the fractal may be characterized by means of the magnitude of the wavelet coefficients of the functions. In this paper, the study of these wavelets is continued. It is shown that also in the case when the fractals are not totally disconnected, the wavelets can be used to study regularity properties of functions. In particular, the self-similar sets considered can be, e.g., an interval in or a cube in . It turns out that it is natural to use Haar wavelets of higher order also in these classical cases, and many of the results in the paper are new also for these sets.

Critical exponents of discrete groups and -spectrum

Let be a noncompact semisimple Lie group and an arbitrary discrete, torsion-free subgroup of . Let be the bottom of the spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the locally symmetric space , and let be the exponent of growth of . If has rank , then these quantities are related by a well-known formula due to Elstrodt, Patterson, Sullivan and Corlette. In this note we generalize that relation to the higher rank case by estimating from above and below by quadratic polynomials in . As an application we prove a rigiditiy property of lattices.

This gives a positive answer for a question posed by Semenov. We also present the one-sided interpolation theorem about operators of strong type and weak type .

     

Ideals in a perfect closure, linear growth of primary decompositions, and tight closure

This paper is concerned with tight closure in a commutative Noetherian ring of prime characteristic , and is motivated by an argument of K. E. Smith and I. Swanson that shows that, if the sequence of Frobenius powers of a proper ideal of has linear growth of primary decompositions, then tight closure (of ) `commutes with localization at the powers of a single element'. It is shown in this paper that, provided has a weak test element, linear growth of primary decompositions for other sequences of ideals of that approximate, in a certain sense, the sequence of Frobenius powers of would not only be just as good in this context, but, in the presence of a certain additional finiteness property, would actually imply that tight closure (of ) commutes with localization at an arbitrary multiplicatively closed subset of .

Work of M. Katzman on the localization problem for tight closure raised the question as to whether the union of the associated primes of the tight closures of the Frobenius powers of has only finitely many maximal members. This paper develops, through a careful analysis of the ideal theory of the perfect closure of , strategies for showing that tight closure (of a specified ideal of ) commutes with localization at an arbitrary multiplicatively closed subset of and for showing that the union of the associated primes of the tight closures of the Frobenius powers of is actually a finite set. Several applications of the strategies are presented; in most of them it was already known that tight closure commutes with localization, but the resulting affirmative answers to Katzman's question in the various situations considered are believed to be new.

Potential Analysis on Carnot Groups，Part II：Relationship between Hausdorff Measures and Capacities

Abstract In this paper, we establish the relationship between Hausdorff measures and Bessel capacities on any nilpotent stratified Lie group (i. e., Carnot group). In particular, as a special corollary of our much more general results, we have the following theorem (see Theorems A and E in Section 1): Let Q be the homogeneous dimension of . Given any set E ⊂ , B _α,p (E) = 0 implies ℋ ^{Q−αp+ ε}(E) = 0 for all ε > 0. On the other hand, ℋ ^Q−αp (E) < ∞ implies B _α,p (E) = 0. Consequently, given any set E ⊂ of Hausdorff dimension Q − d, where 0 < d < Q, B _α,p (E) = 0 holds if and only if αp ≤ d. A version of O. Frostman’s theorem concerning Hausdorff measures on any homogeneous space is also established using the dyadic decomposition on such a space (see Theorem 4.4 in Section 4).
