Moduli of path families are widely used to mark curves which may be neglected for some applications. We introduce ordinary and approximation modulus with respect to Banach function spaces. While these moduli lead to the same result in reflexive spaces, we show that there are important path families (like paths tangent to a given set) which can be labeled as negligible by the approximation modulus with respect to the Lorentz Lp,1-space for an appropriate p, in particular, to the ordinary L1-space if p=1, but not by the ordinary modulus with respect to the same space.

We construct Fatou–Bieberbach domains in $\mathbb{C}^{n}$ for$n$>1 which contain a given compact set$K$and at the same time avoid a totally real affine subspace$L$of dimension <$n$, provided that$K$∪$L$is polynomially convex. By using this result, we show that the domain $\mathbb{C}^{n}\setminus\mathbb{R}^{k}$ for 1≤$k$<$n$enjoys the basic Oka property with approximation for maps from any Stein manifold of dimension <$n$.

In this paper we consider various aspects of generalized invertibility of the operator matrixacting on a Banach space$X$⊕$Y$.

In this paper, we give a variational analysis to the planar dual Minkowski problem in the Sobolev space. With the new variational characterization, we can deal with existence results for prescribed not necessarily positive data. Meanwhile, functional inequalities and multiple solutions are also obtained.

In this paper, the dual Orlicz curvature measure is proposed and its basic properties are provided. A variational formula for the dual Orlicz-quermassintegral is established in order to give a geometric interpretation of the dual Orlicz curvature measure. Based on the established variational formula, a solution to the dual Orlicz-Minkowski problem regarding the dual Orlicz curvature measure is provided.

We prove a mean ergodic theorem for amenable discrete quantum groups. As an application, we prove a Wiener type theorem for continuous measures on compact metrizable groups.

The geometric descriptions of the (essential) spectra of Toeplitz operators with piecewise continuous symbols are among the most beautiful results about Toeplitz operators on Hardy spaces Hp with 1<p<∞. In the Hardy space H1, the essential spectra of Toeplitz operators are known for continuous symbols and symbols in the Douglas algebra C+H∞. It is natural to ask whether the theory for piecewise continuous symbols can also be extended to H1. We answer this question in the negative and show in particular that the Toeplitz operator is never bounded on H1 if its symbol has a jump discontinuity.

The general volume of a star body, a notion that includes the usual volume, the $q$th dual volumes, and many previous types of dual mixed volumes, is introduced. A corresponding new general dual Orlicz curvature measure is defined that specializes to the $(p,q)$-dual curvature measures introduced recently by Lutwak, Yang, and Zhang. General variational formulas are established for the general volume of two types of Orlicz linear combinations. One of these is applied to the Minkowski problem for the new general dual Orlicz curvature measure, giving in particular a solution to the Minkowski problem posed by Lutwak, Yang, and Zhang for the $(p,q)$-dual curvature measures when $p>0$ and $q<0$. A dual Orlicz-Brunn-Minkowski inequality for general volumes is obtained, as well as dual Orlicz-Minkowski-type inequalities and uniqueness results for star bodies. Finally, a very general Minkowski-type inequality, involving two Orlicz functions, two convex bodies, and a star body, is proved, that includes as special cases several others in the literature, in particular one due to Lutwak, Yang, and Zhang for the $(p,q)$-mixed volume.

We consider the convolution operators in spaces of functions which are holomorphic in a bounded convex domain in ℂ^{$n$}and have a polynomial growth near its boundary. A characterization of the surjectivity of such operators on the class of all domains is given in terms of low bounds of the Laplace transformation of analytic functionals defining the operators.

We consider a multidimensional version of an inequality due to Leray as a substitute for Hardy’s inequality in the case $p = n ≥ 2$. In this paper we provide an optimal Sobolev-type improvement of this substitute, analogous to the corresponding improvements obtained for $p = 2 < n$ in S. Filippas, A. Tertikas, Optimizing improved Hardy inequalities, J. Funct. Anal. 192 (1) (2002) 186–233, and for $p > n ≥ 1$ in G. Psaradakis, An optimal Hardy-Morrey inequality, Calc. Var. Partial Differential Equations 45 (3-4) (2012) 421–441.

Let A1, A2 be (not necessarily unital or closed) standard operator algebras on locally convex spaces X1, X2, respectively. For k 2, define different kinds of products T1 Tk on elements in Ai, which covers the usual product T1 Tk= T1 Tk, and the Jordan triple product T1 T2= T2T1T2. Let : A1 A2 be a (not necessarily linear) map satisfying that ( (A1) (Ak))= (A1 Ak) whenever any one of Ais is of rank zero or one. It is shown that if the range of contains all rank one and rank two operators then it must be a Jordan isomorphism multiplied by a root of unity. Similar results for self-adjoint operators acting on Hilbert spaces are obtained.

It is proved that the natural embedding of a separable Banach space$X$into the corresponding Bourgain–Pisier space extends $\mathcal{L}_{\infty}$ -valued operators.

Let $\mathcal{M} =\{m_{j}\}_{j=1}^{\infty}$ be a family of Marcinkiewicz multipliers of sufficient uniform smoothness in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ . We show that the$L$^{$p$}norm, 1<$p$<∞, of the related maximal operator $$M_Nf(x)= \sup_{1\leq j \leq N} |\mathcal{F}^{-1} ( m_j \mathcal{F} f)|(x) $$ is at most$C$(log($N$+2))^{$n$/2}. We show that this bound is sharp.

We prove that every lattice in a product of higher-rank simple Lie groups or higher-rank simple algebraic groups over local fields has Vincent Lafforgue’s strong property (T). Over non-Archimedean local fields, we also prove that they have strong Banach property (T) with respect to all Banach spaces with non-trivial type, whereas in general we obtain such a result with additional hypotheses on the Banach spaces. The novelty is that we deal with non-co-compact lattices, such as SLn(Z) for n⩾3. To do so, we introduce a stronger form of strong property (T) which allows us to deal with more general objects than group representations on Banach spaces that we call two-step representations, namely families indexed by a group of operators between different Banach spaces that we can compose only once. We prove that higher-rank groups have this property and that this property passes to undistorted lattices. Full Text (PDF format)

Let Ω be a Greenian domain in ℝ^{$d$},$d$≥2, or—more generally—let Ω be a connected $\mathcal{P}$ -Brelot space satisfying axiom D, and let$u$be a numerical function on Ω, $u\not\equiv\infty$ , which is locally bounded from below. A short proof yields the following result: The function$u$is the infimum of its superharmonic majorants if and only if each set {$x$:$u$($x$)>$t$},$t$∈ℝ, differs from an analytic set only by a polar set and $\int u\,d\mu_{x}^{V}\le u(x)$ , whenever$V$is a relatively compact open set in Ω and$x$∈$V$.

Let$f$be a germ of an analytic function at infinity that can be analytically continued along any path in the complex plane deprived of a finite set of points, $${f \in \mathcal{A}(\bar{\mathbb{C}} \setminus A)}$$ , $${\# A< \infty}$$ . J. Nuttall has put forward the important relation between the$maximal domain$of$f$where the function has a single-valued branch and the$domain of convergence$of the diagonal Padé approximants for$f$. The Padé approximants, which are rational functions and thus single-valued, approximate a holomorphic branch of$f$in the domain of their convergence. At the same time most of their poles tend to the boundary of the domain of convergence and the support of their limiting distribution models the system of cuts that makes the function$f$single-valued. Nuttall has conjectured (and proved for many important special cases) that this system of cuts has$minimal logarithmic capacity$among all other systems converting the function$f$to a single-valued branch. Thus the domain of convergence corresponds to the$maximal$(in the sense of$minimal$boundary) domain of single-valued holomorphy for the analytic function $${f\in\mathcal{A}(\bar{\mathbb{C}} \setminus A)}$$ . The complete proof of Nuttall’s conjecture (even in a more general setting where the set$A$has logarithmic capacity 0) was obtained by H. Stahl. In this work, we derive$strong asymptotics$for the denominators of the diagonal Padé approximants for this problem in a rather general setting. We assume that$A$is a finite set of branch points of$f$which have the$algebro-logarithmic character$and which are placed in a$generic position$. The last restriction means that we exclude from our consideration some degenerated “constellations” of the branch points.

Let$D$($μ$) be the Dirichlet space weighted by the Poisson integral of the positive measure$μ$. We give a characterization of the measures$μ$equal to a countable sum of atoms for which the Blaschke condition is a necessary and sufficient condition for a sequence to be a zero set for$D$($μ$).

We investigate compact quantum group actions on unital $C^*$-algebras by analyzing invariant subsets and invariant states. In particular, we come up with the concept of compact quantum group orbits and use it to show that countable compact metrizable spaces with infinitely many points are not quantum homogeneous spaces.

For a wide class of 2-dimensional periodic elliptic operators, we show that the global extrema of all spectral band functions are isolated.

To study arithmetic structures of natural numbers, we introduce a notion of entropy of arithmetic functions, called anqie entropy. This entropy possesses some crucial properties common to both Shannon's and Kolmogorov's entropies. We show that all arithmetic functions with zero anqie entropy form a C*-algebra. Its maximal ideal space defines our arithmetic compactification of natural numbers, which is totally disconnected but not extremely disconnected. We also compute the $K$-groups of the space of all continuous functions on the arithmetic compactification. As an application, we show that any topological dynamical system with topological entropy $\lambda$, can be approximated by symbolic dynamical systems with entropy less than or equal to $\lambda$.

In our previous paper “The primes contain arbitrarily long polynomial progressions” [$Acta Math$., 201 (2008), 213–305] there were some minor errors in our definition of the polynomial forms and polynomial correlation conditions, which is unreasonably strong as written due to the overly loose bound on the degree of the polynomials involved. In this erratum we repair this issue by capping the degree of the polynomials more strongly, and adjusting some other relevant components of the argument accordingly.

In this paper we consider the problem of the non-empty intersection of exposed faces in a Banach space. We find a sufficient condition to assure that the non-empty intersection of exposed faces is an exposed face. This condition involves the concept of$inner point$. Finally, we also prove that every minimal face of the unit ball must be an extreme point and show that this is not the case at all for minimal exposed faces since we prove that every Banach space with dimension greater than or equal to 2 can be equivalently renormed to have a non-singleton, minimal exposed face.
