In this paper we investigate Riesz transforms$R$_{μ}^{($k$)}of order$k$≥1 related to the Bessel operator Δ_{μ}$f$($x$)=-$f$”($x$)-((2μ+1)/$x$)$f$’($x$) and extend the results of Muckenhoupt and Stein for the conjugate Hankel transform (a Riesz transform of order one). We obtain that for every$k$≥1,$R$_{μ}^{($k$)}is a principal value operator of strong type ($p$,$p$),$p$∈(1,∞), and weak type (1,1) with respect to the measure$d$λ($x$)=$x$^{2μ+1}$dx$in (0,∞). We also characterize the class of weights ω on (0,∞) for which$R$_{μ}^{($k$)}maps$L$^{$p$}(ω) into itself and$L$^{1}(ω) into$L$^{1,∞}(ω) boundedly. This class of weights is wider than the Muckenhoupt class $\mathcal{A}_{p}^\mu$ of weights for the doubling measure$d$λ. These weighted results extend the ones obtained by Andersen and Kerman.

The topological center of the spectrum of the Weyl algebra$W$, i.e. the norm closure of the algebra generated by the set of functions $\{n\mapsto\lambda^{n^{i}};\lambda\in\mathbb{T}\mbox{ and }i\in\mathbb {N}\}$ , is characterized in a recent paper by$Jabbari$and$Namioka$(Ellis group and the topological center of the flow generated by the map $n\mapsto \lambda^{n^{k}}$ , to appear in$Milan J. Math.$). By the techniques essentially used in the cited paper, the topological center of the spectrum of the subalgebra$W$_{$k$}, the norm closure of the algebra generated by the set of functions $\{n\mapsto\lambda^{n^{i}};\lambda\in\mathbb{T}\mbox{ and }i=0,1,2,\ldots,k\}$ , will be characterized, for all$k$∈ℕ. Also an example of a non-minimal dynamical system, with the enveloping semigroup Σ, for which the set of all continuous elements of Σ is not equal to the topological center of Σ, is given.

In this paper, we give a condition on the bicharacteristic which guarantees the global existence of the mild solution to the Boltzmann equation with an external force for the hard-sphere model and potentials with angular cutoff in infinite vacuum. This generalizes the previous results to the case when the force can have arbitrary strength. The constructive condition on the bicharacteristic is used to obtain the pointwise estimates on the collision operator so that the global existence comes from the contraction mapping theorem.
