A moment problem is presented for a class of signed measures which are termed pseudo-positive. Our main result says that for every pseudo-positive definite functional (subject to some reasonable restrictions) there exists a representing pseudo-positive measure.

Nonsingular matrix subspaces can be separated into two categories: by being either invertible, or merely possessing invertible elements. The former class was introduced for factoring matrices into the product of two matrices. With the latter, the problem of characterizing the inverses and related nonlinear matrix geometries arises. For the singular elements there is a natural concept of spectrum defined in terms of determinantal hypersurfaces, linking matrix analysis with algebraic geometry. With this, matrix subspaces and the respective Grassmannians are split into equivalence classes. Conditioning of matrix subspaces is addressed.

To compare continued fraction digits with the denominators of the corresponding approximants we introduce the arithmetic-geometric scaling. We will completely determine its multifractal spectrum by means of a number-theoretical free-energy function and show that the Hausdorff dimension of sets consisting of irrationals with the same scaling exponent coincides with the Legendre transform of this free-energy function. Furthermore, we identify the asymptotic of the local behaviour of the spectrum at the right boundary point and discuss a connection to the set of irrationals with continued-fraction digits exceeding a given number which tends to infinity.

Let$α$_{1},$α$_{2},…,$α$_{$m$}be linear forms defined on ℂ^{$n$}and $\mathcal{X}=\mathbb{C}^{n}\setminus\bigcup_{i=1}^{m}V(\alpha_{i})$ , where$V$($α$_{$i$})={$p$∈ℂ^{$n$}$:$$α$_{$i$}($p$)=0}. The coordinate ring $O_{\mathcal{X}}$ of $\mathcal{X}$ is a holonomic$A$_{$n$}-module, where$A$_{$n$}is the$n$th Weyl algebra and since holonomic$A$_{$n$}-modules have finite length, $O_{\mathcal{X}}$ has finite length. We consider a “twisted” variant of this$A$_{$n$}-module which is also holonomic. Define M_{$α$}^{$β$}to be the free rank-1 ℂ[$x$]_{$α$}-module on the generator$α$^{$β$}(thought of as a multivalued function), where $\alpha^{\beta}=\alpha_{1}^{\beta_{1}},\ldots,\alpha_{m}^{\beta_{m}}$ and the multi-index$β$=($β$_{1},…,$β$_{$m$})∈ℂ^{$m$}. Our main result is the computation of the number of decomposition factors of M_{$α$}^{$β$}and their description when$n$=2.

In [$Rong$, F., Quasi-parabolic analytic transformations of$C$^{$n$},$J. Math. Anal. Appl.$$343$(2008), 99–109], we showed the existence of “parabolic curves” for certain quasi-parabolic analytic transformations of$C$^{$n$}. Under some extra assumptions, we show the existence of “parabolic manifolds” for such transformations.

We consider second order elliptic divergence form systems with complex measurable coefficients$A$that are independent of the transversal coordinate, and prove that the set of$A$for which the boundary value problem with$L$_{2}Dirichlet or Neumann data is well posed, is an open set. Furthermore we prove that these boundary value problems are well posed when$A$is either Hermitean, block or constant. Our methods apply to more general systems of partial differential equations and as an example we prove perturbation results for boundary value problems for differential forms.

In this note, we characterize maximal invariant subspaces for a class of operators. Let$T$be a Fredholm operator and $1-TT^{*}\in\mathcal{S}_{p}$ for some$p$≥1. It is shown that if$M$is an invariant subspace for$T$such that dim$M$$⊖$$TM$<∞, then every maximal invariant subspace of$M$is of codimension 1 in$M$. As an immediate consequence, we obtain that if$M$is a shift invariant subspace of the Bergman space and dim$M$$⊖$$zM$<∞, then every maximal invariant subspace of$M$is of codimension 1 in$M$. We also apply the result to translation operators and their invariant subspaces.

In this note we establish some general finiteness results concerning lattices Γ in connected Lie groups$G$which possess certain “density” properties (see$Moskowitz$, M., On the density theorems of Borel and Furstenberg,$Ark. Mat.$$16$(1978), 11–27, and$Moskowitz$, M., Some results on automorphisms of bounded displacement and bounded cocycles,$Monatsh. Math.$$85$(1978), 323–336). For such groups we show that Γ always has finite index in its normalizer$N$_{$G$}(Γ). We then investigate analogous questions for the automorphism group Aut($G$) proving, under appropriate conditions, that Stab_{Aut($G$)}(Γ) is discrete. Finally we show, under appropriate conditions, that the subgroup $\tilde{\Gamma}=\{i_{\gamma}:\gamma \in \Gamma \},\ i_{\gamma}(x)=\gamma x\gamma^{-1}$ , of Aut($G$) has finite index in Stab_{Aut($G$)}(Γ). We test the limits of our results with various examples and counterexamples.

Let$X$be a compact Hausdorff space. A kernel function on$X$×$X$, enjoying additional properties, naturally defines a semi-inner product structure on certain subspaces of all finite signed Borel measures on$X$. This paper discusses the question of completeness of such spaces.

Let$R$be a Noetherian ring, $\mathfrak{a}$ an ideal of$R$,$M$an$R$-module and$n$a non-negative integer. In this paper we first study the finiteness properties of the kernel and the cokernel of the natural map $f\colon\operatorname{Ext}^{n}_{R}(R/\mathfrak{a},M)\to \operatorname{Hom}_{R}(R/\mathfrak{a},\mathrm{H}^{n}_{\mathfrak{a}}(M))$ , under some conditions on the previous local cohomology modules. Then we get some corollaries about the associated primes and Artinianness of local cohomology modules. Finally we will study the asymptotic behavior of the kernel and the cokernel of the natural map in the graded case.
