Approximation of Gaussian Random Fields: General Results and Optimal Wavelet Representation of the Lévy Fractional Motion

We investigate the approximation rate for certain centered Gaussian fields by a general approach. Upper estimates are proved in the context of so–called Hölder operators and lower estimates follow from the eigenvalue behavior of some related self–adjoint integral operator in a suitable L ₂(μ)–space. In particular, we determine the approximation rate for the Lévy fractional Brownian motion X _H with Hurst parameter H∈(0,1), indexed by a self–similar set T?? ^N of Hausdorff dimension D. This rate turns out to be of order n ^?H/D (log?n)^1/2. In the case T=[0,1] ^N we present a concrete wavelet representation of X _H leading to an approximation of X _H with the optimal rate n ^?H/N (log?n)^1/2.     

Stable Convergence of Multiple Wiener-Itô Integrals

We prove sufficient conditions ensuring that a sequence of multiple Wiener-Itô integrals (with respect to a general Gaussian process) converges stably to a mixture of normal distributions. Note that stable convergence is stronger than convergence in distribution. Our key tool is an asymptotic decomposition of contraction kernels, realized by means of increasing families of projection operators. We also use an infinite-dimensional Clark-Ocone formula, as well as a version of the correspondence between “abstract” and “concrete” filtered Wiener spaces, in a spirit similar to that of Üstünel and Zakai (J. Funct. Anal. 143, 10–32, [1997]).     

Harrington’s conservation theorem redone

Leo Harrington showed that the second-order theory of arithmetic WKL ₀ is -conservative over the theory RCA ₀. Harrington’s proof is model-theoretic, making use of a forcing argument. A purely proof-theoretic proof, avoiding forcing, has been eluding the efforts of researchers. In this short paper, we present a proof of Harrington’s result using a cut-elimination argument.      

A Generalization Of Reifenberg’s Theorem In {\mathbb{R}}^3

In 1960 Reifenberg proved the topological disc property. He showed that a subset of which is well approximated by m-dimensional affine spaces at each point and at each (small) scale is locally a bi-H?lder image of the unit ball in . In this paper we prove that a subset of which is well approximated in the Hausdorff distance sense by one of the three standard area-minimizing cones at each point and at each (small) scale is locally a bi-H?lder deformation of a minimal cone. We also prove an analogous result for more general cones in . Received: July 2006, Revised: August 2007, Accepted: January 2008     

Global regularity for solutions to Dirichlet problem for discontinuous elliptic systems with nonlinearity q > 1 and with natural growth

In this paper we deal with the Hölder regularity up to the boundary of the solutions to a nonhomogeneous Dirichlet problem for second-order discontinuous elliptic systems with nonlinearity q > 1 and with natural growth. The aim of the paper is to clarify that the solutions of the above problem are always global Hölder continuous in the case of the dimension n = q without any kind of regularity assumptions on the coefficients. As a consequence of this sharp result, the singular sets $\Omega_0 \subset \OmegaIn this paper we deal with the H?lder regularity up to the boundary of the solutions to a nonhomogeneous Dirichlet problem for second-order discontinuous elliptic systems with nonlinearity q > 1 and with natural growth. The aim of the paper is to clarify that the solutions of the above problem are always global H?lder continuous in the case of the dimension n = q without any kind of regularity assumptions on the coefficients. As a consequence of this sharp result, the singular sets , are always empty for n = q. Moreover we show that also for 1 < q < 2, but q close enough to 2, the solutions are global H?lder continuous for n = 2.      

Isomorphism of complete local noetherian rings and strong approximation

About a year ago Angus Macintyre raised the following question. Let and be complete local noetherian rings with maximal ideals and such that is isomorphic to for every . Does it follow that and are isomorphic? We show that the answer is yes if the residue field is algebraic over its prime field. The proof uses a strong approximation theorem of Pfister and Popescu, or rather a variant of it, which we obtain by a method due to Denef and Lipshitz. Examples by Gabber show that the answer is no in general.

     

Compact Manifolds Covered by a Torus

Let X be a compact complex manifold which is the image of a complex torus by a holomorphic surjective map A→X. We prove that X is Kähler and that up to a finite étale cover, X is a product of projective spaces by a torus.     

Uniform existence of the integrated density of states for models on $${\mathbb{Z}}^d$$

We provide an ergodic theorem for certain Banach-space valued functions on structures over , which allow for existence of frequencies of finite patterns. As an application we obtain existence of the integrated density of states for associated discrete finite-range operators in the sense of convergence of the distributions with respect to the supremum norm. These results apply to various examples including periodic operators, percolation models and nearest-neighbour hopping on the set of visible points. Our method gives explicit bounds on the speed of convergence in terms of the speed of convergence of the underlying frequencies. It uses neither von Neumann algebras nor a framework of random operators on a probability space.      

The commutant of analytic Toeplitz operators on Bergman space

In this paper, using the matrix skills and operator theory techniques we characterize the commutant of analytic Toeplitz operators on Bergman space. For f（z） = z^ng（z） （n ≥1）, g（z） = b0 ＋ b1z^p1 ＋b2z^p2 ＋.. , bk ≠ 0 （k = 0, 1, 2,...）, our main result is =A′（Mf） = A′（Mzn）∩A′（Mg） = A′（Mz^s）, where s = g.c.d.（n,p1,p2,...）. In the last section, we study the relation between strongly irreducible curve and the winding number W（f,f（α））, α ∈ D.     

The Riemann–Hilbert Problem in Weighted Classes of Cauchy Type Integrals with Density from L P( · )(Γ)

We consider the Riemann–Hilbert problem in the following setting: find a function whose boundary values ϕ⁺(t) satisfy the condition a.e. on Γ. Here D is a simply connected domain bounded by a simple closed curve Γ, and K ^{p( · )}(D;ω) is the set of functions ϕ(z) representable in the form , where ω(z) is a weight function and (K _Γφ )(z) is a Cauchy type integral whose density φ is integrable with a variable exponent p(t). It is assumed that Γ is a piecewise-Lyapunov curve without zero angles, ω(z) is an arbitrary power function and p(t) satisfies the Log-H?lder condition. The solvability conditions are established and solutions are constructed. These solutions largely depend on the coefficients a, b, c, the weight ω, on the values of p(t) at the angular points of Γ and on the values of angles at these points. Submitted: May 13, 2007.
