We prove a Melin-Hörmander inequality for a Banach algebra of pseudo-differential operators whose calculus was developed by Sjöstrand. The main new difficulties in the proof are settled by a stationary phase method tailored to the low-regularity of the symbols.

A new and fairly elementary proof is given of the result by B. Simon [S], that the potential in a Sturm-Liouville operator is determined by the asymptotics of the associated$m$-function near −∞. The proof given is based on relations between the classical transformation operators and the$m$-function.

It is known that, unlike the one dimensional case it is not possible to find an upper bound for the zeros of an entire map from$C$^{$n$}to$C$^{$n$},$n$≥2, in terms of the growth of the map. However, if we only consider the “non-degenerate” zeros, that is, the zeros where the jacobian is not “too small”, it becomes possible. We give a new proof of this fact.

Let $$\mathcal{H}^{1,1} (T^1 )$$ denote the Hardy space of real-valued functions on the unit circle with weak derivatives in the usual real Hardy space $$\mathcal{H}^1 (T^1 )$$ . It is shown that when the weak derivative of a locally Lipschitz continuous function$f$has bounded variation on compact sets the Nemytskii operator$F$, defined by$F(u)=f·u$, maps $$\mathcal{H}^{1,1} (T^1 )$$ continuously into itself. A further condition sufficient for the continuous Fréchet differentiability of$F$is then added.

Let$S$denote the class of schlicht functions. D. Bertilsson proved recently that for$f∈S, p<0$and$1<-N<-2|p|+1$the modulus of the$N$th Taylor coefficient of ($f′$)^{$p$}takes its maximal value if$f$is the Koebe function. Here a short proof of a generalisation of this result is presented.

We show that proving the conjectured sharp constant in a theorem of Dennis Sullivan concerning convex sets in hyperbolic 3-space would imply the Brennan conjecture. We also prove that any conformal map$f$:$D$→Ω can be factored as a$K$-quasiconformal self-map of the disk (with$K$independent of Ω) and a map$g$:$D$→Ω with derivative bounded away from zero. In particular, there is always a Lipschitz homeomorphism from any simply connected Ω (with its internal path metric) to the unit disk.

Let$X$(-ϱ$B$^{$m$}×$C$^{$n$}be a compact set over the unit sphere ϱ$B$^{$m$}such that for each$z$∈ϱ$B$^{$m$}the fiber$X$_{$z$}={ω∈$C$^{$n$};($z, ω$)∈$X$} is the closure of a completely circled pseudoconvex domain in$C$^{$n$}. The polynomial hull $$\hat X$$ of$X$is described in terms of the Perron-Bremermann function for the homogeneous defining function of$X$. Moreover, for each point ($z$_{0},$w$_{0})∈Int $$\hat X$$ there exists a smooth up to the boundary analytic disc$F$:Δ→$B$^{$m$}×$C$^{$n$}with the boundary in$X$such that$F$(0)=($z$_{0},$w$_{0}).

A local-global principle is shown to hold for all conjugacy classes of any inner form of GL($n$), SL($n$), U($n$), SU($n$), and for all semisimple conjugacy classes in any inner form of Sp($n$), over fields$k$with vcd($k$)≤1. Over number fields such a principle is known to hold for any inner form of GL($n$) and U($n$), and for the split forms of Sp($n$), O($n$), as well as for SL($p$) but not for SL($n$),$n$non-prime. The principle holds for all conjugacy classes in any inner form of GL($n$), but not even for semisimple conjugacy classes in Sp($n$), over fields$k$with vcd($k$)≤2. The principle for conjugacy classes is related to that for centralizers.
